She literally poured hydrogen peroxide on someone's head?! She could have blinded her. If she did that, she's about half a step below someone who throws acid in a woman's face and she should have absolutely gone to jail.

Not really sure why it's just team Nobody for you. This Hale wench sounds like a loon and just reading about the fuckery she did makes me not at all interested in what the other person did; this woman is dead wrong.

I get a really sympathetic vibe from this article for Hale and that's fucking disgusting. Real name policies on Facebook are the devil, using a fake name on goodreads though? Ehhh worthy of some light stalking. Which, yes, stalking is always bad...eeeeeeh but you know sometimes there's a gray area.

Nope, sorry, I have zero fucking sympathy for someone who stalks and assaults a young woman, especially one who is obviously emotionally troubled (whether or not the abuse allegations are true, the fact of her eating disorder puts her in a very vulnerable state), and then begins to exhibit the exact same stalking…

How much of a broken human being do you have to be to think this a team nobody situation? How do you read about someone literally stalking someone and go "you know, they had some good points"? How the hell is this on jezebel without one of your other editors calling you out on this godawful, victim blaming, piece of…

It sounds like the review WAS accurate, though. The job of a review isn't to provide authors with job security, it's to write reviews. Good, bad, indifferent. If someone has an experience they believe is worth saying "I would never use this service/read this author/whatever again," then it's up to the service provider…

Here's the thing. It wasn't a "fake identity." It was a pseudonym. She was protecting her privacy, just like AUTHORS do all the time. Guy authors write as women, women authors write as men, old authors pretend to be young, and they change their names without a hiccup.

Having an opinion about a work of art, however unflattering, is neither illegal nor is it libel. Libel would have been had the reviewer said the author herself was a rapist. But if Hale wants to sue, I 110% support her in that - I'd looooove to see her go before a judge again and try to justify her actions.

How the hell are you Team Nobody? At most, Harris used a nom de plume, and perhaps some photographs of someone else (I am going to be a little hesitant to believe Hale's assertion that she's stealing photographs of her neighbor, given the author's completely deranged pursuit of this woman.) That's it. That's all. So…

I'm aggravated that you're calling "Team Nobody" and acting as if Blythe did anything wrong. She read a book; she didn't like it; she reviewed it. Totally fine activities!

The more I think about it, the more creeped out I am by this Hale lady. Okay, some lady wrote a bad review and maybe lied about the book. It's called trolling. It's the internet. It happens. The fact that her response to this was not to try to dispense with concerns over the content, but rather to ACTIVELY STALK THIS…

There is statutory rape in this book. That the author doesn't see that as rape is astounding. That you believe a stalker's accounts of her victim is even worse. You have absolutely no evidence that Blythe isn't who she says she is, except for the words of her stalker. Shame on you.

This fucking asshat needs to date Eron Gjoni. They deserve each other.

"Her fiancee, Simon Rich, is a writer for SNL and the New Yorker. Her fiancee's mother, Gail Winston, is an executive at Harper Collins, the house that is publishing her book. Her future father-in-law is Frank Rich, of the New York Times. And her friend, John Mulaney, is also in her corner."

"You're fat," I shouted. And then I poured the entire bottle of hydrogen peroxide on her head.

I had a similar experience. I was living near there and had the unfortunate experience of caring for my newborn and hospicing my beloved mother at the exact same time. I was a physical and mental/emotional wreck and could not nurse. One day, a volunteer came to give me respite time and I took my baby to the park.…

Honestly though, IS feeding all organic "best"? Are there studies I can read? Because from what I can tell there's a shit ton of factors going in to how a kid turns out, most of them genetic and financial, and the organic food craze just seems more like a scam to me than anything else.

Oh, the religious sanctimommy subset! I know a few of those too. It is worse when they homeschool, I hear, but homeschooling is illegal where I live.

The busy wars. Ick.

The poor ones aren't the ones complaining, though! The ones complaining are the ones who are rich, and often even have help - sitters, nannies, au pairs, part-time preschools, and so on. The poor ones are too busy busting their asses to have time to whine online.
