There was some discussion. Not is. I haven't seen anything about her posted since she said she was leaving the thread for good. Some cruel personal remarks were posted about a lot of people. That happens in flame wars. Sad but true. As to knowing X, you say "None of you haters know X at all, btw." Very few people here know her outside of what she posts. By your posts shall you be known. Since I've never met her in person, all I know about her is what she posts. And let's just say that she has been the author of some extremely vicious and intentionally cruel posts in the past. That may or may not be who she really is. It IS who she decided to present herself here as. Rambi is the only person I know who claims to have met her in person. Otherwise, all we know is what she says about herself. Which might be very accurate, or might be very misleading. Or can be very confusing when she says contradictory things about herself. As far as I know, you haven't met her in person, either. If this is true, both you and I are totally dependent for our knowing of her on her posts and how we understand and interpret them. As is true of our knowledge of each other, and of most posters here. In fact, I have never met another SI poster in person, and Edwarda is the only one I ever talked to on the phone at any length. Not my purpose here to get back into further discussion of her. Am just responding to some things you said that I think deserve clarification. And a comment on what "knowing" someone who posts on SI might and might not mean.
