in her taking it upon herself to say "Listen up, fellow white writers, I'm now going to teach you how to write those strange exotic Others and Get It Right!" - even if she *hadn't* been responsible for setting off the GCAD of 2007. (Even *I* wouldn't go that far, and I am a rusher-in (where angels fear &c) myself; I'll say when I think something is good w/r/t ethnic (or GLBT) issues, but I won't ever say it's above criticism or that, you know, *actual* FoCs or queer fans would be *wrong* to say it was off or discomfort-inducing, which I'm not necessarily going to pick up on.)
It was definitely a case of Fishing For Progressive Compliments, and when a bit of ConCrit was the result instead of an Ally Cookie, her response was to side with those who were giving her Ally Cookies - no matter that they weren't entitled to be *giving* out Ally Cookies any more than I am.
