Not nice. Climb out from under the rock, please.
Medium is a supportive community. These pics are overused and Sherry's rant well-founded.
Yours is not. David Perlmutter has Aspergers. There have been a plethora of stories written about his highlighting; many for - as many against.
Just remember some people use the tools that are provided to speak their sentiments. Not everyone can write as eloquently as they can express in the here and now. Ultimately, highlighting means the highlighter read your story. It's a read = payment.
You should be thankful.
