[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read it in the NYTimes. I was bored by it frankly. It was just small minded and completely spun out of control by both parties - both equally obsessive, equally petty, and yes, nuts as far as their behaviors and words portrayed them.

But they weren’t equally obsessive and their “crimes” weren’t equal. The author really wanted to spin this to make Dorland look obsessive but there was a period of two YEARS where Dorland was not contacting Larson. Once she realized the extent of the plagiarism she rightfully decided to resume contact. Larson’s emails and texts were subject to discovery due to her suing first. [/quote]

Sure but now she (Dorland) sits on live zoom chat panels and watches her (Larson). That is stalkerish and unhinged.[/quote]

Once again, it's a public forum.  If you're not open to anyone in the world watching you while making a public presentation, maybe don't make one.  Not stalkerish.  Normal.[/quote]

But they are part of the same profession. If Larsen is on the professional panel speaking circuit, I don’t find it out there for Dorland to be taking part in those same events. Why should she allow these women to further ostracize her?[/quote]

I would feel differently if Dorland were doing anything inappropriate at these events -- asking Larsen direct questions, making her presence known in bigger ways than simply attending the event with her name, etc. But she's just going to the events. What does Larsen want? For the entire writing profession to ban Dorland from any future participation?

[b]Oh wait, that is 100% what Larsen wants. Who is obsessed with who again?[/b][/quote]
Larson: Stays in Dawn's private facebook group, reads every post, discusses it with her friends, steals passages from Dawn's letter, writes a whole story inspired by Dawn, names it after Dawn's email signature
"OMG Dawn, why are you so obsessed with me?!!" [/quote]
