Heck, does everyone have a Jane Goodall abusive staffer anecdote?
A few years later, Dr Jane Goodall was the victim of a rude staffer, Mary Lewis. In an article, we referred to her as Dame Jane, since she received a DBE, and her citation from the Palace referred to her this way, too. The email an intermediary received from Mary was, ‘There is no such person as Dame Jane.’ I told the intermediary that there most certainly was and sent him the Palace link. Mary then started being belligerent to me directly, saying that Jane had the right to refer to herself any way she wished. Of course she did, but that wasn’t what her email said: she said there was no such person. If only she had been polite with her request, and said, ‘Jane Goodall prefers Dr Goodall and not Dame Jane,’ but, like Rick Pallack’s staff, she thought it was better to ask a favour by insulting someone. I called her out, noted she had failed to apologize, pulled the article, and blocked the Goodall Institute, as I no longer felt comfortable with recommending them to over 200,000 readers if salaries were being spent on abuse. Soon after, they lost US$5·5 million as the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s DOGE killed USAID. While they didn’t deserve that loss, part of me wondered if Mary had told the us that her boss didn’t exist! Jane passed away not long after, so Mary got her wish.

I donʼt know anything about SERanking but my experience with Semrush is resoundingly negative. Semrushʼs tools do not show real search volumes: they are predictions. As a result, they made my life hell all year. Also they do not obey robots.txt files, despite claims on their website.

I suspect we were used as a sort of test bed by foreign actors to see how easily dis/misinformation could be spread.

Sorta like how they tested EftPOS here, but with more dipshits and negative effects on our collective well-being.
