Eh. She's got certain strong opinions and anyone that doesn't share those opinions might be seen as a threat to her. Better to denounce such people rather than re-evaluate the opinion. Also, she may just see red whenever she sees anything by you so there's a guilt- by-association thing going on and it dictates how she reacts to anything you or any other pro-TMer says. Been there, done that, though not-so-much about TM itself, I think.
