i ‘met’ Pete Wentz. No wait, I just saw him from three feet away and he talked to people around me. i don’t know him (although how awesome would that be?) and even if I did, his secrets are his secrets, not mine, right?

Coming far too late to the party..

1) And? This couldn’t have been intuited by Mr Neil’s photoblogging? (Some of us don’t tweet, BTW)

2) So? I suppose some people needed to go to GoogleAnswers to confirm his marital status in the first place…

3) What? Is anyone not jealous? Seriously? Come on now.

Oh, John – serious apologies for not speculating about your own social life. Serves you right for being all married and stuff. Give us a little filth and we will happily extrapolate for you. Assuming Greg’s comment isn’t just idle speculation, of course..? *fans self*

Rachel – Were you working at that indie bookstore in Chicago I hear Obama frequented?

I follow your site; I had never the impression that your themes were about gossip and the personal life of anyone, never mind how famous s/he is.
You are not a paparazzi or an editor of tabloids. Not as far as I know.
I can but congratulate you for this. That you know people or not is irrelevant. Your site has never been a tabloid and I sincerely wish it will never become one.

Only after reading Spin’s article on Palmer’s and Gaiman’s performance did I learn they were dating. The article’s picture of them hugging did not clue me in; reading Gaiman’s tweets which are peppered with references to Palmer did not clue me in.
After reading the article I remember thinking: Man, I am soooo slow, and I’m always the last person to know these things. “These things” being who’s dating who, even as it pertains to one of my favorite authors of all time.
So, I was again surprised to learn that most everyone else was as clueless as I was and perhaps I’m not so slow after all? Well, at least not in this instance:)
In any event, kudos to Palmer and Gaiman for keeping their business, well, their business. Because at the end of the day, it really is none of ours.

I have met Neil Gaiman, and had multiple letters published on his blog, including one with his full name. Also, he totally made an @reply to me on Twitter. We’re so tight.

I have also met Barack Obama, and sold books to him. Most importantly, I made him chuckle. We have a solemn bond — you know the bond between bookseller and booksellee. It is very solen.

With all due respect to Mr. Scalzi, if Neil Gaiman and Barack Obama ever started dating, I will shout it from the rooftops in fangirl glee.

Yes, I know, I don’t know you… but I still would like to say that this is a brilliantly hilarious and incredibly well written article. Not the underlying topic of course, that is just sad, but you handled it beautifully. Thank you.

OK. I forgive you.
