[QUOTE="datreus, post: 9107308, member: 7042671"] These aren't faceless masses, but specific people putting it down for what are often very clearly reasons far beyond anything contained within the text. I'm not disregarding opinions when I point out statements are flat out untruths. I've repeatedly discussed the good qualities and it's bad faith to suggest I didn't, given it's in the posts right above. Not accepting a contex-free point of view from an obviously aggrieved person as being unquestionable gospel is not 'challenging' it. That's not unfair, nor bad faith. Bad faith is taking one person's point of view without any corroboration and promoting it as the whole story - especially when that denies agency to multiple Indigenous writers who were pulled in without their consent and placed in untenable positions. I'm not challenging the assertions being made. I have no idea whatsoever what actually happened based on the extremely curated and limited information provided, and neither does anyone else outside the people involved - many of whom do not have the freedom to present their own point of view for personal and professional reasons. I'm not going to 'engage' with that because I don't know if it's true or not. Watching dozens of people assume it's 100% what happened and sounding off about it has been quite the experience. What is as important is understanding that true or not, that post does the same thing it's accusing others of. It denies agency to the other Indigenous writers involved in the project. Since they weren't consulted for their consent, their capacity to respond is bound by a range of difficulties. They may have professional relationships that could be jeopardised either way, or put in the position where if they did disagree with the author, they get slammed by the backwash and their own 'Indigineity' put to the question. That's why I am not 'engaging' with it. [/QUOTE]
