ummm, so her encouraging you to steal an article fits your argument how?

oh, that’s right, it doesn’t.

theft is theft is theft…you can’t argue your way out of that.

And no, I didn’t pay for her piece — I’m not going to clap for an article that encourages people to damage other journalists, which is what her article does, whether she realises it or not. (I have, however, clapped other articles of hers in the past that I’ve read.)

I do pay for membership to Medium though, as I do for many other media organisations I read content on.
