Much appreciated, Dan. And much of what I was addressing was the hive mentality I watched developing around the internet, not just discussion boards, but in blogs and the comment sections of blogs, not to mention a particularly ugly smear at Gawker. I should have made that clearer. Aside from damaging herself, I wonder if Ms. Spiderbaby appreciates the dilemma in which she has placed her editors with their readers. The ethical question trancends intellectual dishonesty and intrudes on the basic assumptions of trust between writer and editor and ultimately, between the magazine (or website, blog, etc) and its readers.
