Comment on Response from Pitchfork Regarding Tumblr Subdomain

Comments

I can see why Tumblr though it was abandoned:

From March 14, 2009:

  DON'T FOLLOW ME

  I AM NOT A REAL TUMBLE BLOG, I AM USED AS A FILTER
  SINCE TUMBLR TOOK AWAY MY REAL FILTER.
From Nov 18, 2009:
  I Have Found The Tumblr Filter

  This Filter is Obsolete
How can this guy claim (with a straight face) that he was actually using this as a blog, when he has posts on the blog explicitly stating that it is not a blog?

Personally, I think there is enough blame to go around:

* Meaghan is probably trying to cover her ass because she over-stepped herself in removing this blog without notification to the user because she though it was abandoned.

* Tumbldore is just using this to generate drama and publicity. It's also possible that Tumbldore is just a giant troll that had this whopper of a piece of bait dumped onto his lap, so now he's just going to milk it for all it's worth.
