Last November, Adam Frucci of Gizmodo put up a post about a Japanese robot to train doctors for ER patients. And he referred to it looking less then realistic by describing the robot as having “a bad case of the Downs“.
"A Bad Case of the Downs"
I thought it was in incredibly bad taste, and I said so:
And it still isn't.
It’s not a brilliant retort, but it certainly got the point across. I’m still surprised that Gizmodo let the original post’s language through in the first place.
Well today Adam put up another post where he specifically points out that he’s the “token jackass” of Gizmodo:
Shameless Jackass
As long as he was talking about how much of a jerk he is, I thought I’d remind him of his past: 
Maybe to the folks at Gizmodo that seemed a little out of context or they just want to ignore it, ’cause not too much later I noticed:
Banhammered!
No one is going to miss my presence on the Gizmodo comments and nothing I do is going to change things, but I still think it was worth it. It’s gotta be pretty bad before I think about taking a stand on something, even this small.
