While I support having a different view that goes beyond mostly postmodernist mono-culture of today's media, I also know some people who are both members of the IDW and who have had run-ins with Claire.
With the three academics who were behind the hoax articles in the feminist publications, Quillette had a three day heads up and played a much smaller role that she is implying in that article.
I also know someone that Claire contacted to write an article. After agreeing to write the article this person began to pen the article. Then, shortly they found out that two other people had been asked to Quillette to write the same article. Needless to say that didn't go over well, this person confronted Claire about it and decided to not continue with the article or to write for her.
It's a shame because while we really do need something that goes outside of the crazy mono-culture that tries to destroy all dissent, based on what I've seen Quillette, it runs the real risk of doing more harm than good for the cause.

You draw that conclusion from the perception that Claire exaggerated something, that she commissioned an article from multiple sources and... the fact that an unspecified number of people had "run-ins" with her?
