I am hitting a bottle of Ballantine's pretty quick here.
Not for drinking, though.
I'm using it make some Bailey's for going to the lake this weekend.

What am I supposed to do about that?
Well, since you KNOW you're completely innocent and there's an excuse for everything NDrew did.....then, nothing.

James:
she was brilliant.
And she still has most of you fighting with one another.
And I dont' consider pitting people against each other and causing fights for her entertainment to be "brilliant".
I consider that person to be pretty sick.

Y'all are assuming I'm here for everything,....... well I wasn't around for a lot of it...
For that reason alone, perhaps it would have been wiser to not always come to her defense. Many times, the insults, name-calling and jabs from her were carried over from a variety of other threads. You didn't see all that was going on.
I have alot of free time on my hands, so I've spent more than the usual amount of time here. She went from thread to thread - baiting, goading and provoking.
Then when everyone had had enough of it, yes....I'm sure it LOOKED to you like the fight was unfair. But it wasn't. She was getting what she asked for - had BEGGED for - all day long.
This is not a therapists office where that is even remotely acceptable. This is a discussion board and we should not have to tiptoe around someone like that. Nor should be we be required to take abuse just because she is mentally ill.
Simon and Lady Lee both agreed. You are free to diagree wtih them and everyone here all you like.

Perhaps PalmTree starts to understand the difficult Russian novel that was N.drew.
Palmtree started to understand that pretty quickly. But I don't defend or befriend those kinds of people.

When people defend her abusive behavior, it belittles all of the other people who were the targets of her abuse.
Exactly.

Yes, she pushed and prodded, goaded, baited and provoked.....anything to pick a fight.
Then when she got it, cried persecution.
She loved every minute of it.

Spelling/Grammar Nazis.
by Low-Key Lysmith ini'll admit it.
it kinda gets my goat when folks disregard spelling and grammar.
i really get miffed at misuse of there/their/they're and your/you're, then/than, etc.. i very rarely ever go so far as to correct anyone on it, but it would seem that maybe karma caught up with me today on another thread when i typed that i had "said my peace".

That makes sense.
Thanks, TD!

For the record, I don't agree with the whole "grabbing quotes" thing.
It doesn't give you the context, it doesn't convey the "flavor" of the thread, or the feelings that are brought up, so it's easy to re-invent the meaning of what was actually said. And in NDrew's case, even if you find one quote where she says "A", there are 12 other places where she contradicts what she said before.
