A few weeks after I returned from the “controversial” Nestle Healthy, Happy Family Event, I was contacted by Stacy Katz of Katz Media Consulting about a potential interview by the LA Times on “Twitter terrorism”. After speaking on the phone with Ms. Katz, she expressed that a reporter, P.J. Huffstutter, from the LA Times was writing a piece on Twitter bullying, and she wanted to speak to me about the backlash I experienced on Twitter regarding the Nestle event. Although the term “Twitter terrorism” was…

UPDATE: Nestle has responded to a few of PHPinParenting’s questions – PART 1 & PART 2.
