Some journos take corrections easily, and some don't. I've had people directly misquote me at major outlets where I had the call on record (with their consent, since CA is a 2 party consent state for recording calls,) and refuse to make corrections, and had other people accept my corrections at face value and put them in to place. I may not have time to do so today, but would encourage anyone interested (probably better if it's only a person or two and not a horde in this case) to contact the author of the Atlantic piece about the issues. Probably those directly interviewed by the journalist would be the best candidates to put in for a correction.
Best, Kevin Gorman

Good that this story has been told, at last. Overdue.
(Minor quibbles: Eric is not an admin, and the New York Times piece was not written by a NYT reporter. Corrections possible?)

Thanks for sending this out Carol, you beat me by about two minutes. I would hugely encourage everyone to read this, and a lot of it also relates to why it's important that people vote in arbcom election, and we don't have arbitrators elected with 273 support votes and fewer than 600 total votes...
