Yeah, but, if you're a very important social media researcher who has important information to disseminate to your followers in order to justify your own very importance, then anything short of
"Tumblr disappeared me…"
isn't going to generate the same outrage, and publicity, that Xeni Jardin did when she tried to erase Violet Blue's posts from BoingBoing. "Erase posts" being the conventional and operating phrase. So don't blame her; it's the social media-generated apathy.
No, I will blame her. Of course lying and exaggerating will generate more outrage, that's exactly what I meant by my claim of "linkbait". She could have generated more outrage by saying that Tumblr raped her, but I do not believe the ends (generating outrage) justify the means (being misleading).
I was being sarcastic if reference for not blaming her. For a person who markets themselves as a preeminent scholar on all things social, it seems odd that the only times I hear about her is when she's over-dramatizing some issue related to her personal interests or herself.
Again, this person has never created anything, held down a job that required results or contributed anything aside from opinion and self-centered promotion to any discourse. She reads about what others do in order to pass judgement and when people, or in this case Tumblr, doesn't take her seriously, she whines. I expect more reports of violations from this source in the future.
