More bloggers on Vicious Attacks on Ari Ne’eman

Yesterday, I wrote about the vicious attack on Ari Ne’eman, president of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), by John Best – Best is a guy that seems to spend whatever free time he has spewing vile comments and barely veiled threats at people who don’t “hate autism” – that includes any supporter of neurodiversity. But he saves his most hateful stuff for the people who are autistic and have the audacity to say they’re happy with the way they are.

I already shared a link to Turning Trolls into Stone, a post with some good constructive suggestions about responding. It’s on the blog Whose Planet Is It Anyway?

Here are some other bloggers alerting others to the attack (apologies ahead of time to anyone I missed):

lastcrazyhorn at Odd One Out writes as someone who is already way too familiar with John Best in her post Death Threats on Ari Ne’eman.

Ms. Cripchick has written a letter to Newsweek on cripchick’s webblog.

At Wood’s Rules, Virginia Wood expresses sympathy for John Best’s situation but cuts him no slack when it comes to his behavior.

Kassiane at The Rettdevil’s Rants writes about the “Latest Mercury Malicia Target.” (This is my first encounter with the word “malicia” – I love it.)

That’s it for now. Good reading. –Stephen Drake
