[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the court documents were public, how/why did Kolker miss what really happened?[/quote]

I have wondered the same thing myself. Perhaps he was part of the same literary scene and so took Larson's description as fact, and did not fact check? But then again, I don't think anything he said was overtly untrue, it's just laid out in a way that significantly distorts the truth. I don't know, in other words. But I have wondered.[/quote]

LOL I thought this board was full of lawyers, not writers. Lawyers of all people should know that court records are fascinating and helpful, but they are never a whole story, and they do not capture emotion, nuance or context. And plenty of court filings are, by design, meant to distort. [/quote]

Sure, but people aren't looking at the filings, they are looking at the documents produced primarily by Larson. [/quote]

I’m the PP who wrote that this - meaning the blue-check Twitter reaction - was supported by the false idea that Dorland was a Karen who stalked Larson, and that Larson in turn tries to do emotional labor to aid this horrible white chick. This is what Ng, Gay, and Northam all said, to thousands of Twitter likes. This is a real phenomenon, in that even private citizens with some social media presence, want to do anything to not seem like One Of Those White Women. Without this environment, even if folks didn’t see the pleadings (if Larson decided to accept Dorland’s saner suggestion of arbitration), there is a better chance the cruel and dishonest social dynamic would have been spotted more quickly.[/quote]
