I agree that the person in question doesn't strike me as deliberately malicious in the same way that mieskie/Schmoker was. She is more like a child who hasn't learned manners.
Which doesn't mean that she shouldn't be dealt with, or that we should put up with her because of that. IMO, an official warning to her is long overdue, and if that ends up subsequently in banning, then... with all the sadness of our hearts, we'll have to do it.
(Which doesn't excuse actions like Allyson's vicious attack on her either, and much less the later bragging. But that's another subject, so I'll just leave it at that).
But isn't behaving like such here. *Like*.
As I said above, I'm not excusing her, I'm just drawing distinctions between different types of unpleasant posters.
(Edited to avoid confusions between "here" and "her).
Like Fay And Trudy, I'm more inclined to feel for her...identifying with the underdog or something.She's young, if she's twenty, I'll eat my socks(Of course, there's Ms. Liz, but imo, she's a genius.) Other Boards are like that, more often than not(of course I do come here more to escape it)I would feel sort of terrible pulling away from someone, if, say, we were her only non-family contact in a week...and, dude, I'm making both points at once...I hate that. I think I know why I don't post here often.
She has mentioned in the past that she is 25 or something.
In her User Profile, she says that she's 26. We should probably take her at her word.
OK. That's my mistake...do I really have to eat my socks? She posts young, then.
I'm going to take Cindy's advice and stay away from anything about her personally. I'm concerned only with the posts and those are what bothered me.
There are ways for a buffista to act no matter their age.
erika--EAT YOUR SOCKS NOW!!!!
Not really, of course. :)
