We're really ####ed if a "Leaves tapatalk signature in all messages because I can't navigate the settings" movement becomes a thing.

Agreed there too, the death threats are awful and I hope they find the people who sent them. That also doesn't negate her from being a hypocrite

I can't believe that someone would send death threats over something stupid like that. We really are devolving as a species, I pray every day for a meteor strike.

I mean, good that the police are investigating it, but clearly the interesting part of the whole thing -- the part that anyone actually is interested in talking about -- is the "type everything in lowercase letters" part.

Thanked for correct use of "lede" in a thread about people intentionally misusing typography for attention.

The news story now has the "dr." removed. So perhaps it was the reporter's error?

Prof's more and more care about virtue signalling over doing their job. This isn't even a news story outside of the alleged threat.
