I just got around to reading the article, and while I feel for Dawn and everything she's been through...  I could not stop thinking about the fact that she reached out to the people in the Facebook group she created (to praise her kidney donation) to ask them why they weren't liking her posts more?[/quote]

Yeah, so that was needy and showed poor boundaries and is not great social media behavior. 
But that’s also all it was: Socially awkward. 
It was not bullying, it was not wholesale lying, it was not plagiarism.

Not sure of it is as weird as people make it out to be.

It was a small private FB group that Dawn was the moderator of-- so she could who visited, lurked, posted etc. -- and she saw that SL was on their all the time yet did not comment. So she asked her about it. Maybe a little extra, but can you really not relate? It's a small group that she said very clearly there was no pressure to join, only if you are interested. So her "friend" joins and visits all the time and never likes or posts. [/quote]
It wasn’t extra in the slightest. You have to read the court documents. It was a small group of 30-40 trusted friends who Dawn assumed were interested in, and with whom she felt comfortable sharing, her most personal posts about the donation. From the Facebook analytics, she could tell that Sonya was reading the posts, but not commenting on them, at all. Sounds like Sonya was the only lurker. Dawn reached out with a very non-extra email to ask Sonya if she wanted to continue on as a member of the group. She noted that some of her friends had been weirded out by the donation and totally understood if Sonya was not interested in the level of detail she was sharing. Sonya could have graciously exited at that point, but stayed so she could mine Dawn’s posts for use in her story and for lulz with her other morally bankrupt Grub Street friends. [/quote]
