[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 9181445, member: 6779196"] Err… Yes, it does say she objected to the lack of an s, and that is a true statement. But, the bigger issue is clearly the harassment that was resulting from the use of her name in association with the technique. Jason Alexander is (wisely, I think) being careful not to be too explicit about it, but… Well, if you’re familiar with Jennel, you can probably guess why she might have become the target of a harassment campaign. This whole situation sucks, but changing the term is probably for the best. And while choosing to name it after himself might come across as a tad conceited, it makes some sense given that the inventor of the technique is being targeted this way, Jason popularized the use of a verb to describe the technique, and he wants to avoid associating a different person’s name with the technique, for fear of them possibly becoming secondary harassment targets. So, I’m good with it. [/QUOTE]
