This is a column where letters from readers are responded to by the author (and sometimes guest help). Ms. Stoya is the column’s author, and she writes responses to the letters that get sent in.

Might still be creative writing, but not by Ms. Stoya.

Yeah, I realized my mistake a minute after commenting and edited to point out the misunderstanding. These user submitted articles have always seemed fake to me. Particularly those from John Baron

Huh. It even looks like you realized it before I commented, but my client didn’t show your edit!

Between the time required for different instances to push and pull the update, and the minute required to write it, there was definitely room for a misunderstanding to brew. Browser lemmy also only publishes changes to the page when you upvote/downvote something. (But voting can also clear any comments you’re writing on that page, so be careful)
