Eek. I'm afraid that mother is going to be me in a year or two.
Only if you're planning on actively encouraging the toddler in his screeching.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Yeah, I kind of get the feeling Lee's talking less about three seconds of screaming followed by Lee chasing the mom out to the parking lot to scold her than about a whole lot of screaming accompanied by a mom who was determined to sit and have her whole brunch come hell or high water or eardrum-shattering shrieks. That mom, I for one am dead certain you will never be.
Also, yeah Jilli yeah! Sic one of us on 'em! This place is teeming with smart snarky people ready to defend you ably and itching to vent a little spleen. What could possibly go wrong?

you have legions. Can't we flip out on the person in your stead?
There are some people who are sending messages to the tumblr in question, which makes me feel a bit better. But I still want to set someone on fire with my brain.

Actually, does anyone of the Buffista legal hivemind work with IP law at all? I'm trying to figure out if/when I'll need to let my publisher know what's going on.

It was worse than that, even. She seemed to think it was funny, even the 18th time the kid screeched.

Are we talking libel, or copyright infringement?

Copyright. Someone writing advice to goths on a gothy-type blog, and using wording that is ... eerily similar to my writing style. Not to mention the gothy-type blog underwent a makeover a few months ago and is now pink & black striped, with bats.

Oooh, bad, BAD parenting.
