I just read the whole discussion, and I have to say I think this was handled very well. PT is clearly nutty. I wish Dave had been part of a gay couple, which would have stood the whole issue on its head.

Good post. I recently had this happen on my blog. I wasn’t sure how to handle it.

@Kristina. Penelope’s ‘status’ is really what fueled this post. It wasn’t a direct attack on her at all – I am an agreement with you that she is outstanding and what she does and a master of her craft. But what troubled me was the reaction and actions of someone of her ‘status’. Again, there was a lot of debate a few months ago that I couldn’t possibly understand because I am not a mother myself – so I wouldn’t know how to react. I completely disagree – this isn’t a mother/non-mother issue, it’s a human and social media issue. If you put yourself out there, you have to be willing to take on the assholes out there who are going to try and bring you down (if that’s even what Dave was striving to do here). Like you, I believe she needs to get back to basics and stop worrying so much about being edgy (all the time).

I agree with the last comment- I have been a fan of Penelope for a long time, and a regular contributor to the Brazen network, having been around when it launched. Her book, Brazen Careerist was one of the most influential books I read in college and truly helped me to become a blogger (good or bad is not for me to decide). So I too was disappointed with not only this situation but other tweets I have received from her. I have been through a nasty divorce and have been a frustrated single mom, but so much that she has written lately seems childish. And I know you wrote this in April, but I recently got a tweet talking about her divorce/legal papers being delivered with her twitter printout attached. If that doesn’t scream childish, I’m not sure what does. She is incredibly good at what she does and could have used her situation as she has in the past for good, to reach out and spark a mature conversation. Instead she lowered herself to a level unexpected from someone who has earned such respect in the online/social media world. I only hope that she comes back around and gets to be known for what she does best, writing, blogging and helping people become better at living in the new gen y/brazen world.
