- By July 20, 2007, "Malganis found herself with a predicament. The second part of her sporking had suddenly become overrun with apparent “fans” of Meyshi’s story, and now there were dozens of anonymous comments, all admonishing Malganis for her actions and leaping to the original author’s defence." [3]
- On July 22, Malganis "received a particularly angry comment from the author, in which she, in Malganis’s words, was “complaining about copyrights being violated, [I]nternet lawyers being notified, etc”." [4][5]
- On July 27, 2007, "Malganis was surprised to find C&D from the LiveJournal Abuse team waiting for her in her inbox." [6] The text of this letter read:
