[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At a minimum, Brennan should stop posts like this. It isn't making her look good.

Disagree. Kidneygate is being needlessly accusatory here. I think part of Brennan’s point is: she did this thing on her free time to further a conversation. She obviously wasn’t trying to steal anything from anyone. Kidneygate could have asked for attribution instead of attacking her angrily. They didn’t. Brennan is in fact in the hospital with her dad, an ocean away from her husband and clearly under stress. Being polite and granting someone benefit if the doubt is merited. But sending numerous angry DMs and putting someone “on blast”. Brennan has every right to call out this behavior.

[B]Had kidneygate just DMed Brennan and saying “this is a great timeline but I do think some of those screenshots are from my account (which you mat not have realized) — can you provide attribution? I have put a lot of work into reporting on this issue”, Brennan would have been gracious.[/B] Instead, kidneygate sent multiple angry and accusatory DMs. [/quote]

Kidneygate posted their original email to Brennan, and while it is a little angry, it doesn't sound unreasonable. It wasn't that far off from the bolded IMO.

But what I don't get is why Brennan is doubling down when anyone with eyes can see that the images are literally identical to the pixel. It is making Brennan look bad IMO. There is only one thing that she has to say "In my original version, I used images that I've since learned were created by Twitter account kidneygate. I've since changed the images." Done, no harm no foul. But instead, she is doubling down in a way that seems increasingly weird. The self-pitying post above comes across as really off when Brennan has herself removed the copied images from her essays.

It is unfortunate. I don't understand what Brennan is doing. I'm going to assume it is her difficult personal circumstances now, but that doesn't mean it is right. [/quote]
