However, it seems a lot of people are afraid of blowback if they criticise her. Large accounts, people who I would have assumed were allies, have refused to stick up for those attacked by her because they are afraid of being accused of punching down.

I do not enjoy having a locked account. But I also don't appreciate being screenshot and insulted and my identity denied and my words twisted. I also don't appreciate seeing my BIPOC and queer colleagues who are just trying to exist on here constantly be attacked by her.

So I ask once again that we get some solidarity from our colleagues on here about this woman who has spread lies and misinfo about vulnerable scholars.
