Perhaps you missed the recent post where she called you an asshole?
Naw, that was a generic 'asshole' which I allow on a message board.
Well, she does that kind of thing all the time. So, she does not seem to deserve your defense. IF she attacks ALL of her political opponents with such commentary, then she DOES retaliate when she is personally attacked or when her views are challenged.
And she lies, too.
She makes really dopey baseless claims, for example, that conservatives "hate science."
Lying is impolite. Truth matters -- except to her.
I did not defend the content of her posts. (That would be really hard to do in most cases.) Just that she usually does not personally direct them at other members. For that reason I do not see her as intentionally insulting in a personally directed way as some.
Buyt then I've never believed she was a real person either.
