No, I will blame her. Of course lying and exaggerating will generate more outrage, that's exactly what I meant by my claim of "linkbait". She could have generated more outrage by saying that Tumblr raped her, but I do not believe the ends (generating outrage) justify the means (being misleading).

I was being sarcastic if reference for not blaming her. For a person who markets themselves as a preeminent scholar on all things social, it seems odd that the only times I hear about her is when she's over-dramatizing some issue related to her personal interests or herself.
Again, this person has never created anything, held down a job that required results or contributed anything aside from opinion and self-centered promotion to any discourse. She reads about what others do in order to pass judgement and when people, or in this case Tumblr, doesn't take her seriously, she whines. I expect more reports of violations from this source in the future.
