You can, but it doesn’t apply in this case. We’ll have to agree to disagree.

I’m very surprised you think that. Have you met? Even by definition: a person of local or restricted interests or outlook.

She’s small-minded and petty. That’s evident for the world to see.

No interest in agreeing to disagree on the romanticized (auto)biography

How does she only have a 77% approval rating from her students (some of those positive reviews appear repetitive and fake like on Amazon)?

I have it on good authority she added her own book to the reading list to force the lucrative textbook sale.

I should add allegedly 😂

There’s a website on which she or someone purports she was a US Ambassador to Japan lol 😂

The real story here like in the Baby Reindeer is the weirdness of Martha

I can see the follow up article: I was bullied by dcum. I haven’t felt that angry and embarrassed since Sidwell with the exception of that one time I called Lululemon 6 times. In four words: I send my kids to the “equally exclusive” Maret and I’m glad I do. Leave me alone Sidwell! Why are you so obsessed with me! 🙄

More and more pages of embarrassing Sidwell parent behavior. Meaner than NCS now?

Not even just Sidwell parents. Maybe don’t be so attention-seeking and hateful? Sidwell is counting millions and has been gracious even publishing her hate without a comment

Embarrassing? Maybe

Fact based? Objective? Certainly

Does the publisher feel taken or did they know in advance that this was a personal grudge revenge book and courted the controversy for profit?

The publisher is an imprint that focuses on DEI/ hot topics-- stuff in the vein of "a very important episode on..." racism/genderqueer/etc.. So they probably wanted the controversy and bought that angle. But they were counting on the author delivering something readable that they could sell, and instead they got a jeremiad about her own personal baggage. A decent novel with this angle could have done well, especially locally. But OP (author) couldn't get over herself enough to write a decent novel.

Why does the moderator keep deleting posts with the real name of the author?

[Anonymous]

Because, PP, that’s the lowest of low, and one of Sidwell would have ever stooped that low.

Like I said, not cool.

No one of Sidwell
