Rachel Begley has written a full account of her search for her father's murderer at

I'm just catching up with this thread and the main thing I'm trying to understand is why opinions about Rachel didn't turn immediately after that update.
(same post)OTOH, to equivocate completely, I'd do all these things too if I had been the victim of trauma-based MC with instructions to do all this squawking when an alter is triggered.
Even though that is such an astute observation it makes me cringe.

Yeah, I have felt like that too. I never weighed in on the entire thing and it made me uncomfortable to see it siting in GD. I didn't know enough to make an informed comment and didn't have time to untangle all the tentacles of possible information.

note: she favorably compares herself to Aquino while dissing Gunderson.
I noticed that too and I agree with Op Ed, it's creepy. I also agree with C2W's analysis of VM's language, for someone who's not in the trade why is she so focused on the craft in her aspersions?
If I were an intelligent and well organized criminal network trying to cover my tracks, Gunderson would not be in my employ. He's far too sloppy. I would, however, like it if one of my people got their hands on the Brusell stuff, but all that's supposition, and it seems like these subjects need more fact digging and less supposition. Or if we're to do more supposition, perhaps it should include a much wider grey area for characters with varying motivations, loyalties and frailties.
