I showed the post below to some friends and realized that there are a lot of things going on there to make it discussion-worthy--Tao Lin wrote in himself? to clarify for me:

claire, i had been working on a post about editing before kevin's email calling me immature; the post isn't about 'getting revenge,' 'getting even,' or 'proving who's right'; the post is about editing, not about kevin sampsell or tao lin

Fair enough. Go and read the post, still, if you haven't, readers.
