Exactly. What is clear is that the young person did not want the attention. So for Dinah Davis to write another article grinding her axe seems rather insensitive.
And then to jump to "I am beyond angry and disgusted that this has happened."?!? Based on what?!?
Could it be that her parents saw the posts and asked their daughter to put a stop to it? Would you still be "angry and disgusted"?
Maybe she's from a culture where its not OK?
Or, maybe she just didn't feel comfortable with it and very politely asked to delete it. And instead it was turned into something more.
- DinahDavis 10y agoI did consider that and thought about whether or not I should post. I knew that posting would bring more attention to it, but I also felt that by not posting I was allowing things like this to continue and that is not ok. I felt there was value in standing up for someone who decided to write for our publication, and was approached in an unwanted way. At least this way there are thousands more people that are aware that situations like this happen.In the future, we will try to protect our young posters against this by anonymizing their content.
- 6stringmerc 10y agoThat last sentence is a really good, solution-oriented and reasonable approach. In reflecting on this post-post I recalled how ZeroHedge would use a 'default' name (Tyler Durden) for posts. If one could be used for "Voice From A Young Person" or something to that extent, I think that can be a good outlet and ring-fencing of personal information. Good luck!
