I wanted to publicly congratulate our staff editors here at TMP, for the fine job they did, both here and on social media, to counter the recent, vicious attacks made against all of us.
Editor Gwen – who was a particular target of some of the most mean-spirited comments – was brave, said her piece, and even emailed those who know her best: the TMP advertisers she works with on a daily basis. Read more TMP link and TMP link and that's only part of it, she had more screenshots, she could have showed you even more of the rabid attacks she suffered.
Editor Dianna was also active on social media, while simultaneously dealing with the death of a pet and coming down sick, which is why you didn't hear from her in the last part. Did you see her slap down that person who said she only makes $100 USD a month! 
Editor Dianna's friend Jhayra kind of filled in the gap, going to bat on social media against the anti-gay attacks. They deleted everything she said and never gave her a reply, but she was trying! Maybe you saw her posts.
Former Editor Ellah was also in the fray on social media, taking on the worst of the homophobic remarks. She also made some comments here on TMP: TMP link I'm especially grateful when a former editor still feels loyalty to the old gang.
And special thanks to our good friend Kate, not a TMP editor, but someone who worked on another of my internet projects. She was a direct witness to counter some of the vilest gossip being flung around on social media, and gave me one of the nicest memorials I've ever received. Thank you, Katie!
