I checked and the woman that @PadawanWarrior was ridiculing without knowing anything about her is Melissa Blake and she's a real sweetie.

Her bio:
I was born in 1981, and writing was my first true love. I was born with Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome, a genetic bone and muscular disorder, and I’ve had more than 26 surgeries, including surgeries on my knees, hands, hips and spine. I credit much of my independence to my parents, who taught me never to let my disability define me. And growing up, writing was always a way for me to express myself and explore my world beyond the confines of my disability. I studied journalism in college, where I worked on my school’s newspaper in every position from staff reporter to editor-in-chief. After graduating from Northern Illinois University with a journalism degree in 2005, I began my career as a freelance writer. I wrote a weekly newspaper column for nearly five years; my slice-of-life column covered family, holidays, love and pop culture. I was also a blogger for Psychology Today, where I wrote about living a full life with a physical disability, and also blogged about my search for love with a disability for Online Dating magazine.
Her spirit as shown in her writing and the things she talks about is golden.
