If wishes were horses beggars would ride. I do not know or care who Shannon Ashley is. I don’t even know if I’ve read anything she’s written or not. The thing is that if you are going to put your name on an idea and put it on the internet you need to embrace the criticism just as much as the praise. I don’t support personal ad hominem attacks but every writer should be able to defend their point of view against reasoned argument. If a person can’t do that without getting bent out of shape maybe they should reconsider what they are writing
