Dawn has nearly 10 times as many followers as I do. Are you going to tell her off for going after a younger, lesser known female writer?
No because she’s not quote tweeting you to her followers and creating a strawman. Also the power dynamic is different between you, a featured editor with a blue tick, and a digital sub with a couple hundred followers and two well known women in the media industry

I really don't think I have the kind of influence you think I do. I've never got upset with anyone, however many followers they have, for drawing attention to something I've written. That's how online debate works. I didn't attack her, it wasn't personal, I just think she's wrong

Also, a tip for her: if she's got a New Statesman email address, she can get blue-tick verified. I'd recommend applying for anyone in journalism.
