Well good.... tell her to get an apologies to Penguins article out in good time and unblock my feathery ass. I don't retain hard feelings, life is too short - and I'd like to read her stuff before she departs for pastures new.

Where are you getting all of this stuff? I don't get any of that sort of thing channelled at me - though I did reset my recommendations recently and had a sudden upswing of 'how to earn money on medium by writing about medium' articles.

Get writing that article - it sounds centre ground and I'm all in favour of things that are centre ground. I'm hopeful about the future of writing here and I'm sure quality will win out and the echo chambers will be dismantled, it just takes time. Good work from the Urchling - get her set up with her own account and writing articles. Medium needs more of that youth-focussed Appalachian grandma energy.
