[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like Tynes is suing the publisher for defamation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2019/06/08/an-author-lost-her-book-deal-after-tweeting-about-metro-worker-shes-suing-million/?utm_term=.c12bd51f6c75[/quote] Good for her[/quote] +1 [/quote] Agreed, I didn't like all the aggressive reactions her comments got in the first place. There are plenty of situations where race and poverty are used to discriminate against people, but this was not it, and I felt the author was well within her rights to complain publicly. Did her photo/video include the Metro employee's face? If so, that's too much identifying info. Just the uniform and the fact she was eating is sufficient. [/quote]
