First off, I said 'she didn't write it' a couple posts up in an attempt to poke fun of myself for being so wrong. Thus doubling-down on the wrongness. I realized later that it probably didn't come off that way, so I posted again an apology. Not that she will ever see here, but if she does, there is a sincere apology.

There's people around here with grudges against Leigh Alexander. You might be one of them for all I know.

I am not. I wasn't familiar with any of her writing or work when I saw that link. It sounds like she agrees with me completely on shooting burglars in the nuts, though, so I am inclined to think of her as being pretty great. 8)

I don't expect you to be right about video game shit but if you're gonna slag someone over a shitty essay, you need to at least get your target right.

Agreed.

I can see how you might be tricked by her tweeting a link to the blog post, twice, saying she disagreed with it, and then further tricked by the non-link tweets about why she disagreed with it.

I only saw the one tweet in my stream, which got that way by being retweeted into mine. When you go into it from that perspective, my confusion becomes clearer.

In fact, after the retweet, this is what the guy who retweeted it said:

THAT is why I thought Ms. Alexander wrote it.

Meanwhile, as you would know if you clicked the About link on that blog, the actual author of the blog post is named Cameron Kunzelman, a student in Atlanta where Leigh Alexander does not live. You just spent like 3000 words shitting on a dude whose biggest accomplishment is either trolling the shit out of you or, according to his g+, possibly the creation of a Harvest Moon Let's Play.

I am aware of this. Well, I mean, I am aware of it now.

Great job trying to beat up a woman but kicking some kid in the face instead, though.

Gender had nothing to do with any of this.
