Note to Medium Staff: Medium claims we should “Read Medium, get smarter”, and that it “sifts the best [posts] for you”. You recommended this author to me, yet it would be hard to read her and conclude that your publishing objectives have been met. When you promote foul mouthed illiteracy, you associate yourself with it, and you contaminate your brand.

Abbie: I’d be happy to share information from credible sources which appears to contradict your claims and therefore which you might find interesting. But I’d have to ask you to conduct yourself with civility, or accept that you disqualify yourself and your views when you cannot.
