Yes, I too thought she really had promise. And it was obvious she wanted to emulate her heros. Which is why I invited her over to iHub where she could more easily earn her stripes. Even booted a post-deleting tout from his moderatorship of one of the boards and put her in as the moderator (by mutual agreement), then bragged about her on the Q&A board pointing out how she deleted nothing; not even posts I would've personally deleted because they were personal attacks. Held her out as an example of how to run fair discussion.

So what'd she do? Stalk, harass, and lash out. Made me really sorry I'd ever decided to put her in as moderator. You can bet that one got thrown in my face a LOT by the touts. They had a field day showing me how the board was supposedly destroyed because I was so in love with "bashers" I'd put one in charge of a board.

Little does she seem to know that before I had the job here, I myself was a "basher" (according to most of my critics), and a half-decent one. I didn't get emotional. I just weighed the facts and presented them and the most likely missing pieces. I didn't have A@P's research resources, but also wasn't blinded by greed or hope and would just lay out the facts and probabilities.

As BoP pointed out earlier, Mmmary's the only one accusing me of being in bed with touts. She needs to get with the program. The popular accusation for the past 4 years has been that I'm a pivotal part of a huge penny-stock shorting/bashing conspiracy. Heck, half the people who have said that about me have claimed to have "proof", although their "proof" generally turned out to be things like booting touts who cursed by not booting "bashers" who "lied" about their wonderful companies.
