[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like you're sort of (and even the slate piece) is missing the point.

The author of cat people said it was 100% fiction.  The slate writer figured out it was about her and confirmed with thee cat people author that those were her details, it had been based on her.  Charles admitted to another friend he was upset that the cat people author 'dragged" slate author "into it."

So, it seems like the people in the story were slate and Charles, but the truly bad experiences were Cat people and Charles.  Cat people fictionalized her bad experience with Charles by subbing in slate author's bio details.  [/quote]

So much nonsense drama.[/quote]

But it isn't nonsense. If someone wrote a "fictionalize" version of an incident in your life, and provided identifying details, then added other, derogatory details that were not true, that is not right. Cat People author should not have included identifying details. [/quote]

+1  Roupenian, clearly, lacks a moral compass.  [/quote]
I wonder if Roupenian wrote the story at least in part to hurt Charles? Clearly many people at the University of Michigan, where all three were at around the same time, knew about Charles’s relationship with Nowicki. I wonder if she hoped people would assume the story was true and vilify him for it. I can’t get over how negligent she was in keeping all the real-life details in the story. I hope it didn’t contribute to his depression (which Nowicki mentions) or the reason for his sudden death. [/quote]
