I joined Medium in May and was added to Illumination on August 15th, basically one week ago. My short time on Illumination has been AMAZING!!! Dr. Y is a very inclusive, selfless person. Not only does he accept new writers, he has also personally taken the time to comment on my articles. He has provided SO MANY resources for Illumination members. My stats have increased exponentially. My personal counselor told me how great it was to see the way I lit up when talking about my writing this week. Dr Y made that happen for me! I am very sad that one individual felt the need to attack so many people. Yes, Illumination made a mistake. They also took quick, decisive action to correct this mistake. Hopefully the attacker can redirect his energy towards a more worthy cause, such as actual injustice!
