I reverted the information about her blog prompting the creation of a parody blog because I think it's an interesting development -- she is a high-profile writer whose work is so despised by some that someone out there has started a blog just to mock her. This fits in with the downward spiral of her daily newspaper career -- she was fired from the Post and is used only on a freelance basis by the Globe, apparently due to the type of writing/spelling/structure/personal-score-settling issues she reveals in her own blog.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:DoctorBombay ( talk • User:DoctorBombay contribs) 22:22,(UTC).
Recognizing AspasiaLeonidas as a new account, I think it may be beneficial to read Wikipedia's policy concerning civility.
Concerning AspasiaLeonidas's recent edit, I've made a few changes and thought it might be best to discuss my reasoning.
The information that Eckler is "often derided" is, I feel, rendered superfluous gfiven the Jeffrey Simpson quote which follows. I have appended a citation request to the Simpson quote.
Unless the intent is to encourage judgement, I'm not certain what purpose is being served by adding "By her own admission" to information about the conception of her child. I have removed these four words.
The claim that Eckler has yet to find legal counsel to pursue action against the makers of Knocked Up is contradicted by the article she wrote for Maclean's. The sentence in which this claim is made has been removed.
Although I can't for the life of me see much relevance in the sentence concerning "mommy blogs" and positive reviews, I've let the sentence be. I encourage discussion on this matter.
I have adjusted the reference to Eckler's The Globe and Mail "Mommy Blog" to reflect the fact that the series was not a promotional vehicle. The link to the blog has not been restored as it must be purchased and therefore runs counter to Wikipedia's policy concerning external links.
I have restored the sentence dealing with Eckler's blog and the parody blog entitled NineGramBrain. However, I have not restored the link to the latter as third party blogs run counter to Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines. A tricky one this. Again, I encourage discussion.

I've just reverted the most recent edit and, again, offer my reasoning.
The claim that Eckler's Globe and Mail series was "discontinued due to its promotional nature" quite obviously requires a source. None was provided.
I have again removed the link to NineGramBrain, which as previously stated, runs counter to Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines. I might add that it also violates Wikipedia's policy concerning external links.
To expand on what I wrote in my previous post, I don't believe that mention of an anonymous parody blog is appropriate. I've since investigated further and note that at no point does NineGramBrain identify itself as a parody of Eckler's blog. What's more the profile of this blogger features the address of CrackWhoreConfession.com. I have deleted mention of this blog per Wikipedia's policy concerning biographies of living persons, in particular the section dealing with biased or malicious content. Again, I encourage discussion.
