This article made me sadstalgic.  But I love it

Sounds like he was... randy.

This makes the most sense

I would think that IT would demand all social media and public facing accounts use a password manager...ah, who am I kidding, they don’t listen to IT.

I would’ve thought they would at least go with “twokay”, you know, to really fool ‘em.

Dunno if this is true or not, but the scuttlebutt is that the passwords to the various accounts were either “2000" or “password.”

It was actually just Randy. He had a bit too much to drink and before you know it, “my cock is hard”.

I don’t want to be angry, I want shitty people to be held accountable for their words and actions. It does nothing to alleviate the abuse that Brooke Nelson has suffered the last few days, and she didn’t even ask her fans to stop harassing her.

Read the Vulture piece. The grad student sounds like the only one with an acutal head on her shoulders.

I rarely read YA and made a note of all these names to make sure I never touch any of theirs. Excellent repping of their genre. A+.

Hey, Brooke Nelson, I’ve got an idea for your dissertation and it’s a doozy!

Right?  This sounds like her publisher was standing over her shoulder with a ruler rapping her knuckles.

I particularly love how she managed to squeeze in that she has lots of followers. She's 49 and behaves like a tween

This...is not the tone of someone who actually learned a lesson from this experience. Maybe she can go read “The Critic as Artist” and get something from Wilde’s work.

She couldn’t even name the person she bullied. I’d give it a C-.

In my experience, mean girls are mean girls for life.

I want to apologize to the person who was quoted

Gee, I thought that Young Adult authors were ... not young adults, which is code for pubescent mean girls who bully others. 

But she wasn’t really eliminated in retaliation though, right? Two other FEMALE players took the opportunity to exploit the situation to strengthen their own numbers. I don’t know if the guy should have been kicked off for his behavior but what those other two contestants did is appalling. They backed this woman up…
