Oxfeld’s Final Gawk Post: To ‘Everyone I’ve Mocked From This Perch: Denton Made Me Do It’

By Dylan on July 3, 2006 12:00 PM

From now-ex-editor Jesse Oxfeld‘s final post on Gawker:

I owe lots of thanks to Lockhart Steele, for bringing me in and subsequently becoming in many ways the best boss I’ve ever worked for, and to Nick Denton, for signing the checks.

And something of a tip of the cap to Oxfeld’s favorite targets:

Finally, before I go, I’d like to say one last thing to Anderson, Maer, Alessandra, Laurel, publicists, Nikki, Philadelphians, Kruc, and everyone else I’ve mocked from this perch: Denton made me do it.
