[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New piece by Kolker in NYT addressing the Bad Art Friend:

Comments are open. I hope some of the posters here will critique Kolker's narrative stance. [/quote]

I just did. Here is what I posted, let's see if it gets "approved". I am so disappointed in the NYT. Seriously thinking about cancelling my subscription right now and letting them know why. I thought I could count on them! But no, I guess I'm the emotional and hysterical one. So insulting!

My response in the comments:

This is a weak and insulting response and I am deeply disappointed in the NYT. If Kolker spent months poring over the court documents then why did he misrepresent the timeline?

Also this gaslighting and and lame "both sides" response to readers, "While many readers appreciated the story’s perspective shifts and came away understanding both people well, others found themselves identifying emotionally with one side — and getting mad."

So now, it's not just two crazy hysterical women with their "small quarrel" it's the readers who are crazy and hysterical and "getting mad"?

"Identifying emotionally?" So condescending.

I am very disappointed in the NYT for allowing this poor and inaccurate characterization of the events and timeline which harms the perception of kidney donation, (my friend who is a kidney donor here in Colorado said, "will people think I want attention?"). This defensive response by Kolker is just pathetic and the NYT is lessened by allowing it. I've been a subscriber and defender for 15 years but I am really disgusted. [/quote]
