New York Times‘s Assistant General Counsel Finally "Responds" to Persistent Harassment of Author by NY Times Staffer(s)
David McCraw, Assistant General Counsel of The New York Times, has finally "responded" to the accusations of ongoing harassment and violent threats perpetrated by New York Times staffer/writers Jeffrey and Meg Henson-Scales against author Abbe Diaz, for unveiling an alleged New York Times impropriety involving their daughter, NY Times essayist, Coco Henson-Scales.
The persistent malicious messages to Diaz by the Henson-Scaleses (which were originally posted as comments to the PX This website under such pseudonyms as “Wanda Smith,” “til8x8x8is4,” and “Jesus Palacios”) have included such malevolent sentiments as [entirely sic]:
“if you don’t take your shit about Coco?? You WILL lose the bullsit you have… ll change your mind. Keep an eye on your front and your back: WHORE.
You disgusting piece of smegma. I’d go to the electric chair laughing, if I only got to kill you.”
“… I will tell you this, though. IF I ever find your twisted weave within reachin’ distance of me, I will likely break your neck- if you have one, you no-necked piece of filth… I hope you die soon. I’ll keep my eye you, cunt.”
“you keep that shit lies about Coco? you fucking bitch. you twat. wannaget raped?“
“Keep talking about Coco Henson Scales. You must think actions doon’t have consequences”
Married a millionaire, my ass… Turning tricks for old men… Please. Just kill yourself. Make the world a better place.”
"… This is you first and last warnings. Take down your vicious drag queen sheet about Coco and Meg (I know them both); or your shit’s bout to be fried.
You ain’t nuttin but a losin, fugly, stupid bitch, with nuttin to work with.
Why you don’t kill yourself?
Jes sayin. YOU AIN’T SHIT.
Coco and Meg may not be able to hurt you, but WE WILL. NOW."
The full "response" by The New York Times Assistant General Counsel to this ongoing harassment, apparently penned to NY Times staffer Jeffrey Henson-Scales as legal advisement against Diaz’s staunch implementation of her First Amendment Rights, is as follows:
NY Times Staffer Recruits "Friends" To Aid in Ongoing Harassment/ Threats Against Author
Despite having issued a warning to never again contact author Abbe Diaz under a concealed identity (in an attempt to constrain the alleged ongoing harassment of Diaz by a New York Times staffer), “friends” of Times photographer/editor Jeffrey Henson Scales have sent another message to this website, regarding his wife and daughter, both of whom are also former New York Times writers/contributors. It states [entirely sic]:
"… This is you first and last warnings. Take down your vicious drag queen sheet about Coco and Meg (I know them both); or your shit’s bout to be fried.
You ain’t nuttin but a losin, fugly, stupid bitch, with nuttin to work with.
Why you don’t kill yourself?
Jes sayin. YOU AIN’T SHIT.
Coco and Meg may not be able to hurt you, but WE WILL. NOW."
There is an obvious similarity of syntax and sentiment between these missives and their other more blatantly harassing messages, which were originally posted as comments to the PX This website under such pseudonyms as “Wanda Smith,” “til8x8x8is4,” and “Jesus Palacios.” Those past messages included remarks such as [entirely sic]:
“if you don’t take your shit about Coco?? You WILL lose the bullsit you have… ll change your mind. Keep an eye on your front and your back: WHORE.
You disgusting piece of smegma. I’d go to the electric chair laughing, if I only got to kill you.”

New IP Address Also Tracked to New York Times Staffer
Despite having issued a warning to never again contact the PX This website under a concealed identity (in an attempt to constrain the alleged ongoing harassment of author Abbe Diaz by a New York Times staffer), a new "hidden" message was left on this website via its “search” function. It states:
"Your lies are getting ready to cost you, nobody."
Another message signed "Meg Henson" was also left at Diaz’s other website (in response to a fashion-related blog post), stating:
"LOL. I believe that about your labia, you psychopathic piece of shit. Let’s meet soon. You name the place."
There is an obvious similarity of syntax and sentiment between these missives and their other more blatantly harassing messages, which were originally posted as comments to the PX This website under such pseudonyms as “Wanda Smith,” “til8x8x8is4,” and “Jesus Palacios.” Those past messages included remarks such as [entirely sic]:
“if you don’t take your shit about Coco?? You WILL lose the bullsit you have… ll change your mind. Keep an eye on your front and your back: WHORE.

The Time Warner Roadrunner IP address behind the new message, despite being different from the original IP address under which the cyber-harassment began, was online traced to the very same vicinity in an unusual section of Manhattan, one-half block from the residence of New York Times staffer Jeffrey Henson Scales.

**UPDATED**
New York Times Staffer Death-Threatens Author, for Unveiling Alleged NY Times/ Gawker Impropriety
It appears that Jeffrey Henson Scales, a New York Times photographer and editor, and/or his wife Meg Henson, also a former New York Times staffer — despite being warned not to contact Diaz nor any affiliates of this website in accordance with the Aggravated Harassment report filed with the Detective Squad of the New York Police Department — have continued their online harassment, this time via social media website Quora. It was deleted by administrators in accordance with Quora’s policy against inappropriate usage and inapplicable anonymity. [Abbe Diaz is a Quora "2014 Top Writer" with over 2.6K followers.]
There is an obvious similarity of syntax and sentiment between this e-mail and their other more blatantly harassing messages, which were originally posted as comments to the PX This website under such pseudonyms as "Wanda Smith," "til8x8x8is4," and "Jesus Palacios." Those past messages included remarks such as [entirely sic]:
“if you don’t take your shit about Coco?? You WILL lose the bullsit you have… ll change your mind. Keep an eye on your front and your back: WHORE.
You disgusting piece of smegma. I’d go to the electric chair laughing, if I only got to kill you.”
“you keep that shit lies about Coco? you fucking bitch. you twat. wannaget raped?“
“Keep talking about Coco Henson Scales. You must think actions doon’t have consequences"
Married a millionaire, my ass... Turning tricks for old men… Please. Just kill yourself. Make the world a better place.”
Their latest missive in its entirety is as follows [all sic]:
Abbe Diaz, whoever the fuck IT is, cannot accept that it is a random nobody. If it spent nearly as much time trying to learn it’s place in the world – it would be better off. It is a true psychopath – driving pleasure from inflicting pain on others. I hope it gets put out of its misery- eiter self-induced or choked on its own poisonous drivel. It should STFU, because the wheel turns. It turns slowly,but it does turn.
Media Colludes (Again) in Cover-Up of Media Scandal
The following comment regarding the persistent harassment and death-threats by a New York Times staffer against author Abbe Diaz, for unveiling Times/Gawker journalistic misconduct, was removed from New York magazine’s feedback section:
"This might seem like a strange, mafia-ish argument to a non-JOURNALIST, but within the small world of MEDIA — particularly within the even smaller world of younger, less job-secure JOURNALISTS — it makes sense for at least two reasons."
"… all of us who have had such concerns remain liars by omission."
"… the fraud could have been uncovered sooner, potentially forestalling a great deal of the disruption it inflicted on various careers and on JOURNALISM as a whole."
I hope you’re paying attention New York Times (and New York magazine). Because when your media scandal finally emerges in the mainstream, it’s probably gonna look a lot like this.
New York Times Staffers Continue Cyber-Harassment Against Bestselling Author, for Unveiling Alleged NY Times Impropriety
http://www.pxthis.com/2015/05/ongoing-harassment-of-author-by-new-york-times-staffers-now-via-gmail/
By the way, is there a "cesspool… 4chan of" the Media? Asking for a friend.
The above commentary was deleted from New York magazine’s comment section, under the article, "How a Graduate Student Reluctantly Uncovered a Huge Scientific Fraud."
It was originally posted as the last and topmost comment within the public discussion and was screen-captured immediately following its submission. It garnered attention from New York magazine’s readers, bringing a signifcant amount of traffic to this website before New York magazine deleted it, in under 24 hours.
It’s worth noting that when New York magazine deletes a comment, it usually leaves a message in its place reading, "This comment has been removed by moderators for being inappropriate." No such notification was given in this case.
This is not the first time that New York magazine has engaged in censorship toward author Abbe Diaz:
– In 2008, Diaz’s rebuttal was deleted from the comment section of its Grubstreet blog despite Diaz being the main subject of a flagrantly biased and disparaging report.
– In 2013, Diaz’s responses were also deleted from libelous New York magazine "reportage" that blindly reiterated a reprehensibly erroneous New York Post article regarding the businesses of Diaz’s husband. It was the second time that New York magazine had mistakenly reported gross inaccuracies, completely ignoring the facts contained in official New York State and federal court transcripts.
It’s also worth noting that Diaz’s second book, PX Me – The Sequel to PX This, contains cogent evidence that New York magazine commissioned author Jay McInerney to pen a multi-page "damage-control" essay in favor of chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, immediately following the release of PX This, Diaz’s published diary and exposé of Vongerichten’s enterprise. [Jean-Georges’s organization was later implicated in the misappropriation of workers’ tips, resulting in a class-action lawsuit and court settlement of $1.75M].
McInerney’s essay, which blatantly attempted "practically line for line," to dispel Diaz’s multiple allegations of wrongdoing perpetrated by Jean-Georges’s organization, failed to mention and/or acknowledge the existence of PX This, despite the essay’s obvious intent to mitigate Diaz’s implications. McInerney’s reportage without proper context constitutes a glaring journalistic ethical violation. The resultant cover story "advertorial" in favor of Jean-Georges, which appeared in New York magazine, was not disclosed nor delineated as such in any way.
PX Me also contains other examples of journalistic misdeeds on the part of New York magazine, including the falsification and misrepresentation of information presented in its regular and special feature stories.
** UPDATE **
New York Magazine essentially admits it censors comments regarding Abbe Diaz and the Gawker/ NY Times misconduct.
[ Here’s the screen-capture, just in case, cuz we alls know how stuff like this has the tendency to just kinda disappear at New York magazine.]
New York Times Staffers Continue Cyber-Harassment Against Bestselling Author, for Unveiling Alleged NY Times Impropriety
Meg Henson-Scales— former NY Times writer, wife of NY Times photographer/ editor Jeffrey Henson-Scales, and mother of ostensible NY Times "essayist" Coco Henson-Scales— continues in the ongoing cyber-harassment against author Abbe Diaz, this time via Gmail under an e-mail address which has been online traced to the same residence as the IP address of the original violent threats.
There is an obvious similarity of syntax and sentiment between this e-mail and their other more blatantly harassing messages, which were originally posted as comments to the PX This website under such pseudonyms as "Wanda Smith," "til8x8x8is4," and "Jesus Palacios." Those past messages included remarks such as [entirely sic]:
“if you don’t take your shit about Coco?? You WILL lose the bullsit you have… ll change your mind. Keep an eye on your front and your back: WHORE.
You disgusting piece of smegma. I’d go to the electric chair laughing, if I only got to kill you.”
“you keep that shit lies about Coco? you fucking bitch. you twat. wannaget raped?“
“Keep talking about Coco Henson Scales. You must think actions doon’t have consequences"
Married a millionaire, my ass... Turning tricks for old men… Please. Just kill yourself. Make the world a better place.”
Their latest missive via Gmail in its entirety [all sic]:
You obviously have some very severe mental problems. Deal with them.
I will be talking with the FBI this week,as well as any other governmental agency that can lock you up. You know you’re crazy,right?
But if you have even a micron of intellect remaining, after your bitterness at the world not recognizing you as… just another random.. you will absolutely hear from them.
You have threatened my family, and have continued to do so for nearly a DECADE.
Wake up. It isn’t your right to defame someone because you believe you have an "exclusive" story about the NYC restaurant business. That’s just crazy.
I find you sad, pitiful and dangerous. You will be treated as such. You won’t like jail, and you won’t like every sent of money you can get, taken from you. That’s your future.
Back off and leave us alone. Your failure to become anything is not my family’s fault. You’re just not good enough.
Accept it. You are just not good enough.
Say it again.
You’re just not good enough.
And be nice when the FBI comes over. They don’t play, whatever you are. Are you transgender or schizophrenic? What’s your deal, pobrecito?
Here is MY warning. Take care of yourself. Because I have every single lie, aberration, and fantasy you have written about me, my husband, and my daughter. You should be finished, now. And take down those vile lies about us, or you’ll always be Poor. Always. Be. Poor.
Always.
Think about it a lot harder, crazy,
You will either be in jail, or always be poor. Or both!
Don’t try me even one more time. I’m already working with ‘the authorities’ on your sick, failed, nothing, ass. You are nobody. It’s just who you are. Accept it, you crazy nobody. We’re ALL waiting for your next crazy move, But not really. You’re one step from being in the free hotel with the free taxi.
Try me. You think you’re made now? Whew!
Try me. I am so done with you.
Very Sincerely,
Meg Henson Scales

In a word, getting trolled on Reddit is: hilarious. You have to go into it with the right mindset, though. Thankfully I would think at this point, anybody who is even thinking about getting on Reddit already knows what that mindset is…
