I honestly dont know what to make of Quinn Norton.
She likes to call herself a journalist but it seems to me that she always puts herself in the story. I am seeing some of that here as well.
I'm also uncomfortable with her "claiming" him as a "lover." I'd be rather uncomfortable with one of my ex's writing articles about me after my death.
Then again, maybe I'm missing something here.
- vidarh 14y agoYes, you seem to miss the fact that it's an obituary written by someone who loved the person who has died. Complaining that she "puts herself in the story"? On her personal blog? When someone she loved has just died? Seriously? Are you really that callous? (And if my ex wrote about me like that after my death, then I'd be perfectly fine with it.)
- obv_throwaway 14y agoI'll admit to a fair share of kneejerk annoyance to her writing and her attitudes in general. But my sense of her article is that she's maybe a bit insensitive to the person who was his current partner, Taren. Some feelings aren't meant to be written down and shared with all the world to see.
