[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just did a Google search for news articles on the study, and yes they are brutal and an embarrassment to this forum.  I wish I could say that the bad press isn’t well deserved . .  . The truth is, there are a lot of clueless, privileged, and completely tone deaf participants on this forum, and as the authors of the study have suggested, sometimes words alone CAN actually do real world harm.  Reflect, people.[/quote]

I don't disagree that there are a lot of tone deaf participants but I just did several Google searches in an incognito window and I'm not seeing "brutal" articles or really more than a handful of articles at all. Vanessa Williamson seems to be trying to promote the work a lot on Twitter but beyond a fairly limited Twitter discussion, I just don't see anything like what you wrote. I mean maybe there are a handful of DC focused summary articles out there, but as far as I can tell, this report has not landed particularly broadly. Maybe I am missing something, though.
