Okay, I read her comments in Cease Fire ("based on a shallow and partial reading," etc.) as referring specifically to the action of opening the dialog in the first place. It didn't look to me like she was retracting anything she said, rather that she was mistaken in opening the discussion with seeking-avalon (http://seeking-avalon.blogspot.com/) in the first place.

Which is still a dick move, but it doesn't mean that she's taken back everything you've quoted there. And I think that refusing to buy her books is something of an overreaction. I don't know what to make of this business with the Nielsen-Haydens, though.
