Huh...

[shipperx]

Dear Author breaks down the actions of the Author who stalked a Good Reads reviewer... and the breakdown reveals that the stalker's actions were about as creepy (and her recollection as inaccurate) as you would have suspected.  (Why did the Guardian publish this again?)

Smart Bitches also has interesting commentary.

Storify also has an interesting breakdown about how being published in the Guardian = privilege, which devolved into enabling/victim-blaming

I made the mistake of responding to a tweet tangential to this last week and got sucked into the crazy for a bit. But it only lasted as long as it did because I kept replying to one person, even after I knew I should stop. So, I certainly am no stranger to the impulse to tell a person I disagree with them when I should just roll my eyes and move on.

But I can't see any reason the Guardian could have to publish that story other than knowing that the clusterf--k would make excellent click-bait.

But, my main reason to comment days later is to thank you for the links to the Dear Author and Smart Bitches posts. ^_^
