1 All posters are not equal. Paigow, while nuts, is really funny. We don't need to lose funny people.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree on the funny part.

2 Several people have probably driven away posters with repeated attacks. I don't think she is the meanest poster- or even the most dogged once in attack mode.

I don't think this is true, at least among current posters. There are posters that push very close to the line. Paigow doesn't even know what a line is.

3 She posted here for years, yet I've never heard her outing anyone, contacting someone's boss, etc. If she had wouldn't you expect to have heard?

I said people are afraid she will do this. I didn't just make this up. I think the fears are not unreasonable. But they are more likely to involve a spouse than a boss.

And making a laundry list of things you've told everyone about yourself is not outing. [...]

Actually, this is an outing under the rules established back in the day. Obviously, recently I've stopped caring about that sort of thing, but it still pisses me off. You can bet your ass that if I sat down and posted a list of all the things I know about Paigow from the board alone, she would scream bloody murder about the outing attempt. For good reason, because anyone with half a brain could figure out who she is. And that's without any reference to the stuff she's been bitching about in the last week. If she comes back (and she'll come back) perhaps we can try it as an experiment.

There are posters I like who are in blood-hate feuds with her. But feuds exist beyond her, they can't all be eliminated.

Agreed. How many people have you driven off the board, though? If you had, would it make you happy, give you a sense of accomplishment? I don't think it would. That's why, as big an ass as you are*, you're no Paigow.


*You know, the feud thing.
