I'm sure their circulation will be down for a couple months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/self-magazine-blog-apology#post-1531497 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 15:04:00 +0000 MrsPastryLady 1531497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't understand many women's magazines in the first place. Why do women as a group try to tear other women down? The BS page shouldn't have existed in the first place. I am glad that self is getting rid of it but sad that this story even existed :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/self-magazine-blog-apology#post-1531480 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:35:11 +0000 spaniellove 1531480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's nice that they addressed this, but there's something about the way it was handled that I still don't like. "She felt we had taken a bullying approach"..."I agree". And do they really have to say they wanted to "create a positive message" out of it? Why can't they just emphasize that they're sorry about what they did? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/self-magazine-blog-apology#post-1531479 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:33:01 +0000 wonderstruck 1531479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't buy it - they're apologizing because of bad press and not wanting to lose readers. If there hadn't been a backlash over this they never would have given their actions a second thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/self-magazine-blog-apology#post-1531478 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:27:49 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1531478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad that they're taking out their BS page, but it's upsetting to know that they even had one. I've read though a lot of the comments and most people seem to think it's too little too late. </p> <p>I feel bad knowing that Monika Allen is still battling cancer. I can not wrap my head around how she can do what she does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/self-magazine-blog-apology#post-1531473 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:20:28 +0000 pui 1531473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they should print this in their magazine and not just in a blog post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/self-magazine-blog-apology#post-1531470 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:16:22 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1531470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thoughts?</p> <p><a href="http://www.self.com/blogs/flash/2014/03/self-news-monika-allen-apology.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.self.com/blogs/flash/2014/03/self-news-monika-allen-apology.html</a> </p>
