Sometimes Your Principles Get In The Way Of A Story.

So as you can see over there on the right, I'm on Twitter.  And for all the shit I gave Twitter when it first started to get rolling ("what's the point of it? who cares what I have to say? Why do I want to text message 500 people about my day") I actually like it.  It's a great way to get breaking news and a lot of funnies (I follow a lot of comedians).

BUT, there are people out there that I won't follow just out of principle.  One of those people, and really, enemy #1 on that list, is Justin Gimelstob.  I just refuse.  REFUSE.  He's a tool, a douche, and a complete and utter dick.  I refuse to acknowledge or support his existence in the world.

Which means I had to actually read this story on Deadspin:

A true trailblazer, Gimelstob came out of retirement to play in a match yesterday just to tweet-by-proxy throughout. As in the NFL, tweeting mid-match is not exactly polite in professional tennis. But if you're Machiavellian like Gimelstob or Johnson, the ends justify the means:

During his doubles match with partner Jesse Levine, Gimelstob was writing notes for a ball girl to run over to the side of the court — behind the players' chairs — where the intern for fellow American player Sam Querrey was posting them on Gimelstob's Twitter account.

Gimelstob also mouthed a few comments for the intern to post in between points. Most of them were standard play-by-play recaps.

Nice.

Oh, and by the way, Deadspin:  Who *didn't* know that Sam Querrey had an intern?
