Is 'NYT' Photo Director Michele McNally Really Evil?

Last week, we tried to analyze the dust-up over the (alleged!) homophobic comment (allegedly!) made by New York Times photo director Michele McNally at a Times party to an employee. As her defenders like to note, she is the first photo editor to be named an assistant managing editor and therefore get her name on the big, fancy NYT masthead. And we didn't want to rush to judgment; after all, innocent until proven guilty and the like, and we speculated that maybe there were also some culture/gender clash issues at work. Well, the photographers, in addition to the gays, have now mobilized, and they're not exactly rushing to McNally's defense.
