[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s so funny that this thread and the Chrissy Teigen thread can exist on the same board. She pummeled kids online, has not directly apologized to them (and lied that she had), and to bring it back to the BAF analogue, she’s got another bestselling cookbook on her hands.

It’s very Castellani — I hate to share bummer news, but he wrote and sold a book that got great reviews, was a bestseller, and is being adapted into a series or movie. He’s too successful to care. He’s a vile human being. PP pointing out they can’t apologize to Dawn Dorland - of course not. They don’t seem to see her as fully human. (Which was part of the dysfunction of Teigen’s somehow pardonable cyber bullying- her own misfortune in miscarrying somehow wipes her slate clean. Sometimes success wipes a slate clean too, obviously.)[/quote]

Agreed. This thread has been amazing because overwhelmingly people seem to actually care about who got hurt and how they got hurt and aren't just rushing to defend the more powerful, successful bullies because it's easier for them. That's what you see in the Teigen thread. A lot of people don't care about suffering if they don't like the person who is suffering. That's why bullies like Teigen or Larson choose unpopular, unsuccessful people to pick on -- the definition of "easy target". That this behavior is vile and abusive is overlooked because people don't identify with the people targeted.

But I think a lot of people wound up identifying with Dawn, and that's the difference. She wasn't the easy target Larson assumed.[/quote]

Dawn is a fighter, and a survivor, and is a tough person. I dropped in links to Datalounge a while ago, and it was there that I read a couple of posters describe that Dawn’s history alone (suffering from bad parenting, itinerant lifestyle, full scholarship to a Claremont college, divinity school, and choosing to be a living donor) would suggest to any observant person that she wasn’t one to give up easily nor let things go. It’s the fundamental lack of analytical skills, along with the abhorrent character of many at Grub/CMs, that amuses me. They effed around and a couple found out. It’s not satisfying, but - here we are. At minimum, it is beyond appropriate that Larson and Murphy were let go. It’s not enough, of course.[/quote]
