Title: We Have Seen the Enemy and It Is Us

Sad to think that someone in our own community can be so hate-filled to said community. She's made her mea culpas but the damage is done:

On the plus side it seems to be very clear to everyone (in the article and comment sections) that it is just an individual, acting completely out of line with expectations.
Had she been a political activist the opposing side would have demonized everyone on whose side she purported to be based on her actions.

Its rather nice to know that the community seems to have a sense of class in the public eye, and that this is recognized as an anomaly.

I'm just so glad that Parker's true side showed finally. Not glad that she said those things to Kelsie, who is a friend of mine, but I've always gotten an awful vibe from Parker. I knew she was classless enough to e-beg her gullible followers, but to go around and hypocrite her way into oblivion made it all make sense. I always considered her a dishonest social justice warrior and never supported her methods.

Hmm... No one I had ever heard of, since I'm really not a fan of SJWs, but it is refreshing to see a sincere sounding apology for once.
