If you are one of many who has spread the Twitter flames, signed an online�petition�or joined a Facebook group to hate on Cooks Source, congratulations. You proved the power of the Internet mob. In a post today, Judith Griggs apologizes (again) and tells everyone that this scandal and the harassing of advertisers has most likely killed the magazine. Was Griggs a total jerk who deserved to be called out? Yes.�Plagiarism�is obviously never OK and when called on it, even if you've had a bad day, you don't ask for money. It was just mind-bogglingly stupid. Is she as great of a copy editor as she claimed? Not judging by the typos in the above blog post. Was Cooks Source likely going to go out of business anyway if this is emblematic of how it acts and it was tipped into insolvency so quickly? Maybe. Did she deserve to have the Internet destroy her business over-- from what most of us know-- was one series of mistakes? No.
