Oh, I know that the anonymity can be broken easily (and note that all my online writing is always in my name), and it's not the privacy concerns for her that really bother me.
She can't write anymore. The insight into her life is lost. Also, the anonymous people she wrote about, always referred to by a letter, have also lost their privacy.
All because a journalist wanted a spurious scoop that did zero for sales. Exposing someone is one thing, but removing from public discourse a writer and an insite that was interesting and, in many ways, remarkably moral?
That annoys me. It annoyed Robert as well, I once again found he'd written what I was going to when it turned up in my feed yesterday...
