[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]@kidneygate’s chronology of the emails between Dawn and Sonya is more damning than I can even describe. I’m not on Twitter but anyone on and interested: can you share broadly?

Wow, Dawn was not badgering her at all. She genuinely talked about why she was confused and hurt because she thought they were friends. Sonya went above and beyond to string her along. It definitely shows a clearer story, not the dramatization in the NYT. [/quote]

Yeah, I'm pissed at Kolker.[/quote]
I wonder if he’s connected to Grub Street or the monkeys[/quote]

Cheryl Strayed’s partner with Dear Sugar taught at Grub Street and she just promoted his “dawww, both sides erred” essay — which he clearly wrote in order to defend himself and Strayed. Dawn Dorland noted in the NYT story that she had written in to Dear Sugar for advice, and they did not respond.

People responding to Strayed aren’t having it. [/quote]

Strayed is a turd.

Deeply disappointing. And I thought she put herself out there as a real truth-teller.[/quote]

To answer what Strayed deleted: she promoted fellow Sugar Steve Almond’s essay on this debacle. He’s a sexist sack of crap who frames this as two equally guilty parties fighting a dumb battle due to patriarchy. Almond is allergic to irony. He also taught at Grub Street. I’m waiting to see if he gets ratio’d for this particular act of dishonesty and stupidity. The story resonates in part because the Twitterati are doing exactly what the Chunky Monkeys did to Dorland, whereas normal users of Twitter are actually reading the pleadings and timelines and noting what is true and what is not.
