looks like *somebody* has been trying to erase the evidence (I pretty much know who it was and you should also...) -- a lot of my links from this blog appear to be dead (most of the time you can still see the path, which shows that there *was* a comment posted there etc.); I think I should be able to find a fix for most of them, I just don't know when I'll get around to it!

example: the "booty" picture

the links have been misplaced repeatedly (I had straightened it up in the past just to see that it would be messed-up again after a while): I should be able to find a permanent solution but for know, just browse through the pictures depicting Eileen Whelpley (Craig's girlfriend) -- there are two pictures there of interest, she's wearing tights, high hills and a "micro" dress (extra short) and is posing in the manner of craigslist's "adult" services ads..

right now, the links are the following:

they may well change soon but... as I said, I should be able to find a permanent fix!

P.S. I do think this is just lame... (to be removing links and leaning on people to remove the whole entry if I stopped by and talked to the them and the result was unfavorable to craig/craigslist (e.g. I thought somebody like Stowe Boyd would have a lot more of a backbone -- he apparently removed his whole entry just so my negative comments on Craig Newmark/ craigslist would also disappear) but... it just goes to show you how much I-scratch-your-back-you-scratch-mine is going on -- Seth Finkelstein was right after all ... D.

moved to twitter @craigslistlaugh for the most part

with comic relief and periphery stuff; pretty much every time I check (which is not too often anymore), I keep finding statements to the effect that Craig Newmark is gay, more on craigslist than other sites, most of them get removed relatively quickly

here is a relatively recent one that still has the email address of the poster and the gist of the message -- currently on Google search cash (the craigslist page no longer exists -- you get the craigslist 404 error message, Jim's crazy-cow-wondering-if-to-return-to-the-craigslist-page -- is he realizing that people getting that message would rightly resent the implication?)

If anybody decides to really look into this issue and come up with a definite conclusion, please let me know! (again, unless somebody *shows* any actual wrong doing, in the context of NAMBLA perhaps, I only see it as a problem to the extent that he is deceiving people, especially his long term girlfriend, Eileen Whelpley -- if he truly is gay but pretends not to be and she has no idea)
