When the editor announces a shift to food-porn style writing, it's after Ann returns from a monthlong vacation. The vacation obviously came too late, since Ann had already been putting on her brave-girl face for a few months. Can anyone begrudge the editor a change in personnel? Ann's fall from grace was a long time coming.
The rockstar writer began to lose her passion and started showing frustration with editorial policy. This was followed by a passive-aggressive policy of snipping critical magazine articles, after which she was finally replaced by a passionate and inexpensive amateur with some writing skill.
I can see Salon buying a story about a woman's ambivalence about her new mother-in-law. But this! Graphic descriptions of her physical relationship with her own poor children (remember when they found out she was suicidal after reading it on her blog?) are the bookends of an irrational rant. Salon may keep Ayelet around because of these kinds of letters. She certainly inspires strong feelings in every Salon reader I know. Not good feelings.
