On the contrary, I did no harm to her in any way! One of her mandabonians hit her!

Beautiful, Lord Poe! Regarding the term "talifan", here's a little exchange from her livejournal regarding it:
Karen Traviss wrote:
Ms Traviss -- I'm a bit of a newcomer to this debate, and I'm simply curious: who, exactly, are you labeling "Talifans"? Is the group well defined? Can you give me a list of members? Or leaders? Or do the "Talifans" lack any coherent leadership?
I'll treat that as a genuine question. It's a generic term - not mine, alas - for aggressive and abusive behaviour in any fandom that results in hectoring and other unlovable behaviour to other fans, authors, and anyone passing whio doesn't espouse a certain viewpoint, really. I think you know that. I probably could give you a list for some fandoms: I doubt there is coherent leadership. When I find an academic studying this, I'll let you know.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Does she honestly not realize that she fits her own definition of a "talifan", by relentlessly attacking all who disagree?

I searched for scholarly articles on talifan. Nothing.

I don't think an academic would waste his time on it.

You'd be surprised what they give PhD's for--I can see a linguist or someone like that spending time on arguments like this one. I can't see anybody having too favorable an opinion of KT, though, what with her liberal use of death threats followed by the Crybaby routine.

I don't actually mind Traviss' exploration of Mandalorian language and culture, as from what I've seen much of it is pretty good, and adds overall to the universe. Its a shame she seems to be using it to form something of a cult.

The Mandalorian she was speaking with her fanboys sounded suspiciously like "bullshit" repeated over and over and distorted.
