I remember seeing that thread. That letter was shared *as if it were an open letter* to everyone. Did she paywall it or were the comments the only thing that was paywalled? I think you can choose which posts are public and which are only for paid subscribers. I think for this particular issue it is important to have an open debate and send out Free. Perhaps she wasn't meaning for it to go as viral as it did? (I saw it reposted by many.)
On the note of charity, it is hard to put out the right tone on written replies. Things can sound a bit more truculent in comments than they would be if people were actually talking to people in real life. Anyway, I think the high emotions were also feeding the situation a bit as well. I mostly read everyone's responses and signed nothing. Perhaps my lack of putting my name on letters comes from working for/with lawyers for so long.
