My respect for raganwald just shot through the roof after reading that. As far as I'm concerned that is the most reasonable response so far, by a long shot.

    Re-read it. It's dripping with sarcasm.

    The post is satire.

      Unnecessary satire. Gasoline on the ridiculous bonfire, if you ask me.

        I think I might agree to some extent. I don't understand what section about "evangelists should be attractive" or whatever is referring to; presumably another incident? I get that it is sarcastic, but I don't understand the motivation behind that sarcasm.

  Go read Amanda Blum's piece instead, as it actually has insight and thought behind it. This is just a bit of humour, making egregious errors like "the internet will never forget" (seriously, how many scandals has the internet forgotten?) and "careers are permanently ended" (again, seriously, look at any number of successful public figures and the gaffes they made earlier in life).

    I read Amanda's piece and until raganwald's it was indeed the best piece I had read so far. Amanda however vilifies Aria because she considers her too easily offended and finds her feminist agenda obnoxious. I don't, because I believe she has the right to be a slightly obnoxious feminist and we should be defending her right to be that, even when we don't personally agree with it. Raganwald expresses my more deep-seated feelings on the topic much more powerfully in this well crafted piece of satire.

      I find it ironic that you think the humour piece is the best summary, given that a significant part of it is about the permanent damage done. So permanent the damage, yet only two days later you can't even get her name right. The vast bulk of people who have commented in the last couple of days will have forgotten her name in several months.
