From “ad hominem! no fair!” to “you’re a bitch!” in exactly four words:
gee erica, angry feminist much? hater of white men much? that’s one of the lamest most ad hominem reviews i’ve ever read. you are a true bitch. and you truly need an editor.
cheers

And the follow-up:
you are a clueless nasty, no talent editrix bitch and everyone knows what your middle initial stands for.
From a former colleague of mine, unemployed writer and mental-health blogger (!) Philip Dawdy (who helpfully included his Paypal button at the end of both emails). Read my review of Skip Berger’s book, Pugetopolis, here.
Actually, if strong writing and journalistic credibility were considerations, most of the Stranger staff wouldn’t have jobs.
I love all the white knights riding to Erica’s defense. She doesn’t need any help.
She is a grown-ass woman with a pulpit and a predilection towards inflammatory rhetoric, not some shrinking violet being oppressed by the mythic patriarchal forces of Slog.
maybe if you weren’t such a stupid bitch you wouldn’t get so many ad hominem attacks
maybe if you weren’t such a stupid bitch you wouldn’t get so many ad hominem attacks
maybe if you weren’t such a stupid bitch you wouldn’t get so many ad hominem attacks
I think most of you guys are missing the point: this wasn’t ECB whining about getting called a stupid bitch, she was pointing out the irony in being called to task for an ad hominem attack which was then directly followed by…. you got it, an ad hominem attack.
