[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness in Celeste Ng is astounding. How is she this unaware?[/quote]

Well, she is human and flawed.[/quote]

And yet she makes no room for Dorland to also be human and flawed. I'm guessing Ng thinks Dorland's choice to contact OCOS about Larson's story and the plagiarism issue is an unforgiveable action. Which is amazing, because regardless of what you think of Dorland, she had a valid legal claim. And Ng think Dorland posting on FB about her kidney donation is also unforgiveable.

Yet I'm supposed to sit here and look at the vitriol, bullying, and straight up lying from a bestselling author who has the means and clout to be magnanimous, and say "oh she's human and flawed"?

Uh-uh. What comes around goes around and I'm happy to write of Celeste Ng for being a giant jerk in exactly the way she wrote of Dawn Dorland for.... what exactly? Being needy? I mean, it makes no sense. There are lots of talented writers and lots of amazing books in the world and I don't need to give another penny to Celest Ng every again.[/quote]

I'm PP, and to be clear I stand, I am the PP who wrote my detailed list of my new DNR entries out above. I am not buying Celeste Ng's work again. But no matter how awful Ng has acted, she is still human and flawed. I do not want to dehumanize Ng the way that Ng herself dehumanized Dorland. [/quote]
