This article has uncovered in me a previously unknown moral failing: apparently I cannot forgive someone if I don’t like them. That’s on me! Team No One forever, because I just cannot get over how much I hate them both. They’re two people who have never heard of de-escalation, since there are so many points in the story where all of this could’ve been avoided if one of them was just honest.

I fully agree with what you wrote - whether likeable or not, Dawn was the one wronged here and I do not fault her for pursuing some outcomes for the bad behavior by Sonya. I don't personally have the energy for that kind of revenge, but maybe if I felt wronged enough I would - maybe there is some threshold after which you just can't turn away and let it go. Now I hope that Sonya (and her famous author friends) are feeling enough heat and discomfort to learn a lesson. My 6 year old probably has a better grasp of fairness and kindness than the people on that group chat...
