Sounds like somebody needs to get a clue about Kristen, and it's not you
Bill. All the help that she may give to people, which I doubt is very much
unless she is a completely different person via private e-mail (which I also
doubt very much) does not override all her "mistake" postings (especially
not the illegal spam she posted last week), her immaturity, and her general
disruptive and attention-seeking behavior. The trouble Kristen has caused
far, far, far outweighs any help she may have given people. People need to
realize that, while Kristen may have helped them individually, she is a
troll who is causing a lot of people a lot of problems.
I haven't said anything about the moderator issue, but this, to me,
underscores the need for some kind of monitoring other than ignoring
Kristen. If she could be removed from the list, then decent people like
Bill would not feel the need to leave.
I am about ready to leave myself. Not because of Kristen, but because I am
sick of people who are so blind to what she is doing and who/what she really
is, and continue to defend her. We've been patient with Kristen, we've
tried to help her, we've given her far more chances than most people would,
and she just doesn't get it and doesn't change. Kristen is here for no
other reason but to get attention to try to boost her ego and be the center
of attention, and she will try to accomplish this any way she can--good or
bad. Why can't people see that?!
Rant off.
A VERY fed up Meg
