      A few thoughts on the latest attacks on Salena Zito: Yesterday a friend was dogpiled for asking the identity of one of the accounts behind the effort. He was accused of trying to "doxx" the person behind it.

      So let me get this straight: You are entitled to destroy the life, reputation and career of a good woman from behind a keyboard, and you should be allowed to do it while remaining anonymous? I'm sorry. That's not how life works.

      I'm not prepared to doxx anybody, but if you won't put your own identity out there, there are certain lines of criticism you don't get to make.

          EXACTLY. Anyone that doesn't put their name out there...has far less credibility when attacking others. That is simply reality.

          They can say anything they want from the shadows. But there is no reason for any of us to take them seriously.

          What exactly are the lines of criticism that are off limits? Pointing out that Zito is a serial fabulist is one of those?

          Would love to hear your answer here. Why is criticism of the obvious flaws in Zito’s work off limits? Because you all like her?

          What does "don't get to make" mean? Anyone can make any media criticism they want, anonymous or not. And anyone is free to ignore that criticism. No one's "life is being destroyed". An argument was made, people can argue against it or ignore it.
