[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I mean, at what point does this become the same mean girl pile on that Dorland got stuck under to begin with?

I also suspect that a lot of people commenting in here are white women (I am), and likely well off white women at that, so I am not confident that we are the best audience at detecting some of the class and race issues at play here.  I think Dorland was majorly wronged and that plagiarism is never defensible, but I'm not kidding myself that I have some super secret window into what the truth is here.[/quote]

Well, no.

An anonymous and still small conversation on a local message board isn’t 2,600 comments to one of the most viral New York Times stories of the past few years. No, not close. Almost no one with a verified Twitter account or even a truly visible Twitter account is speaking truth to relative power on this one. I’m objecting to the manipulative crap that I perceive as happening, which includes the idea that those who remain bewildered at how many false notes were hit on in the reporting, are out for Larson’s blood. No.[/quote]

DP. I'm not here for calls for Larson's blood and the voodoo doll poster above needs to take a seat, but I agree that the weight of this matter is still weighing most heavily on Dorland now because the establishment (the NYT, Grub Street, the famous blue check writers that piled on, Kolker) have resolutely closed ranks against Dorland.
