I think Twitter is generally pretty opaque about why they do suspensions. However, her abusive behavior had been ramping up in the last few weeks. It was like she was making up for having been a little nicer while promoting her Kickstarter. She was tagging a lot of people in her tweet rants who have her blocked, me included. If I had to guess, I’d point to that.

Why is Sara Mayhew? Why is she?

Sara Mayhew is starting to remind me of Lee J. Cobb’s character in the classic “12 Angry Men”–ranting, clinging to emotional ideology, reactionary and above all else, angry. Such an over-the-top response to a simple opinion.

For all her behavior, Wikipedia says she’s almost 30, so not a girl. She doesn’t really have a career as a public speaker either. Probably less than I do, and I don’t particularly, aside from the radio work.

At one time, she looked to have a promising future doing art that promoted skepticism. It wasn’t just the manga, though that’s the bit that everyone knows. She did some other interesting, if rough, stuff too. And then…not much happened. It’s possible that something else she tweeted yesterday shines a light on why. Or maybe she just ran out of steam. Hard to say.

how does she have a career as a public speaker?

Because she’s willing to unquestioningly kiss the behind of people like D.J. Grothe, who then book her for public speechifyin’.

Who is this girl anyway, and how does she have a career as a public speaker?

*not at all a meant to contradict that other people have felt unsafe, have been harassed, have been assaulted there, just my experience

*As opposed to meaningfully Tweeting something.
