Word of a so-called "Gothamist Trollathon" event has been bouncing around in the comments section on this website, so we figured we'd mention it for those who missed it, or for those who want to discuss the gathering in one place.
We're not sponsoring or organizing this event—we don't want to scare off the trolls, and if we get involved, it will probably turn into a corporate sponsored Gothamist Trollathon™ featuring a set by the Marcy Playground bassist and a one hour open bar of all you can drink Bud Lite Lime-A-Ritas. However, while we aren't producing this, some of us might be lurking (assuming, of course, there's a dunking booth and you guys buy us drinks).
Will you be in attendance? Will this little gathering help cultivate a more civilized and thoughtful Gothamist commentariat? Let's rationally discuss this in the comments...
