[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either way. They are big enough to absorb the hit, or small enough to be done in. It’s a lesson for the future.[/quote] Again, you are assuming that they lose this case. I don't share your confidence in that resolution. It seems like another lesson for the future is that if you are an author with a book coming out, don't be an a****** on twitter or you could mess the whole thing up. My bet is that NT is regretting the tweet right now more than the publisher is regretting their press release.[/quote] Of course the author is regretting it now. She had no idea that pointing out an injustice is racist if the person in the wrong is black. But the publisher must also be regretting the press release that poured fuel onto the fire and introduced the racial component. And since the author has already paid dearly for her “mistake”, now the publisher will go down too.[/quote]
