many Salon readers make on the authors. While I do hit hard at authors myself sometimes, it is always about the content or topic and never a personal attack on the author him or herself.
On the other hand, considering the withering personal attacks I often receive myself, I have no problem hitting back at reader critics with personal attacks myself.
But really, while Traister does sometimes go into 'woe is me' feminist diatribes, I do often find her articles interesting if only to get some understanding of the prevailing young feminist thinking. She really does seem to get a disproportionate share of personal attacks. I wish people would stick to criticizing the content of her work and not her- as they should with all authors on Salon and elsewhere.
