They can write/publish whatever they choose, of course. But, along with that comes our right to rebut with whatever we wish. At the end of the day, Datingish is supposed to be about dealing with relationships, not half of the irrelevant posts they toss in by Jenn and, to be fair, some others. They aren't living up to what they're supposed to be and we should be able to tell them what we think would improve the site.

What would, in my opinion? Getting rid of a writer that is horribly selfish, doesn't provide any kind of useable advice and cannot be related to by the majority of their readership. That counts for all the writers employed by Datingish, not just the one people are speaking of the most.

Remember, without readership, Datingish would cease to exist. Maybe if more people just stopped visiting, stopped commenting and stopped submitting posts, they'd be forced to change the way they operate.

Of course, though, this is just my opinion.

dree people are gonna eat you alive just for writing this

Really, you're gonna call out the commentors but not what Jenn writes about?  Jenn's always talking about people being ugly in every article she writes about bashing how people look in different scenarios in Italy, on a date at a restaurant or a stripper's club or wherever the hell she goes.  She's always bashing people for looking ugly and you're gonna get on people for calling her ugly back? It's sad how datingish is try to get comments by drama, not a well-written intelligent article.  You know the saying she made her bed and now she's laying (lying) in it.  If she wants to insult people for being ugly and giving them a 3 out of 10.  I do not see what is so wrong in people doing the same to her.

Like others said, maybe you should move on as well...Jenn's articles haven't thank God been published lately and you're still talking about it.

Furthermore if all those pointless articles of Jenn's and other people's are all datingish is going to ever publish people have the RIGHT to say what they please on it, including the comments that Jenn's defenders get their panties in a twist over.

I don't see what this has to do with datingish?! I don't see what Jenn has to do with dating either.

Everyone has a right to express their opinion, regardless of how vulgar it can be. When you submit a post, you accept the risks of being attacked for it and you learn to deal with it. Don't try to censor how people really feel about her articles. 

@thisxemergencyx@xanga - girl you read my mind ;)

@let_the_right_one_in@xanga - If you can support her then people can dislike her why publish these pointless articles? LOL.  Stop trying to censor people who dislike her.  If you want her articles to be published be prepared for the criticism and insults that come with it. Otherwise don't be a "writer" because clearly that's not her profession though she tries to make it out to be.  Can't handle the insults? The internet isn't for you.

You aren't going to accomplish anything productive with these types of articles.

Also if the writer is insulting most of the readers, the readers have every right to insult the writer. ;)

It's just common courtesy not to say mean things like she's ugly or stupid. You can critique her writing, but don't make it personal. Sure, call the article stupid and whatever you wish. Just don't attack her as a person. It's called cyber-bullying. I don't like her posts at all and don't really care for her myself, but I don't make rude and awful comments aimed at demeaning her.

I like how anyone who WAS constructively critical, (including myself who was also supportive of Jenn at first) is completely glossed over. Instead you focus on bashing and devaluing those who couldn't argue their points without punctuating them with "fuck" and "cunt". Furthermore, I really love how anyone with ANY negative opinion, regardless of how it was presented, is immediately labeled a "bully".

I'm sorry but if people can't take being criticised, positively or negatively, then they're the ones with the issue, not the critics. Plenty of people tried to provide mature dialogue and discussion about her posts and nothing changed. We still all got called "bullies" and dismissed because we didn't collectively ram our noses up her bum and laugh at her "wit". Hell, she's never once replied to a comment on her articles. Many of us felt as if she was ignoring the community and by not responding she only wanted attention. It's really not an unrealistic correlation and could've easily been cleared up if she'd actually participate in discussion.

I find it far more insulting that we've been expected to be monotone "Yes Men" and should we dare to raise an opposing voice (I've tried my hardest to be one of the few voices of maturity and reason on the subject) we get slammed and called ridiculous names. Criticism, when done right, is not now nor is it ever going to be bullying. 

Some of the people on this network have ridiculously thin skins and cannot take criticism, and it baffles me. Yes, there have been plenty of douchenozzles who went way too far with their comments to Jenn. This is something we can all agree on, but at the end of the day we DON'T have to look away and accept things as they are if we want a change. 

That's an ignorant mindset to promote. And what makes it more annoying is when we said, "Okay, we WON'T read her work or write on it anymore." people STILL called us "bullies". So what is it you guys want from this community? Some of us will NOT like her work; deal with it. We're going to voice our opinions in one of three ways:

1: Vitriolic condemnation
2: Mature, polite discourse
3: By saying nothing

and it is the responsibility of you, the interns, writers, editors, what-have-you to learn to deal with it all maturely and appropriately. It's also your responsibility to remain consistent, which means drop the hypocritical responses to people's comments and take some of what we say to heart. Seriously. 

I don't understand how her articles are ~controversial. They're just shallow, meaningless, and offer the community absolutely nothing. I'm sure she's a stellar person, but obviously not cut out for the sort of blogging that Datingish does here. If the community has been fed up with these articles, obviously they're going to get more aggressive if they're not being listened to. I haven't seen any of the comments that personally attack Jenn, but I doubt that I'd agree with those eithers. But I'm sure every writer has experienced that at some point. Maybe, just maybeeeeee, you should take all this drama as a hint?

@Hinase@xanga - $20 says my comment goes ignored, or gets twisted around. Double down on the latter. I'm in a betting mood today.

I agree with this post. Childish is the best word to describe those who leave comments on her posts with nothing but name calling. I'm not a fan of her writing, it's very superficial sounding. BUT, I don't personally attack her. She's just doing her job. Thanks for posting this! Though I'm sure you will get hated on for posting this.
