Rachel By The Bay ought to be a respected member of this community based on her blog - instead she is being attacked in a bizarre way. She is not being attacked. If you disagree with the items you quoted then you should present your counter-arguments. Nearly every post you quoted is a rational opinion which deserves a fair refutation. It's insulting for you to aggregate these comments and then pass over them with blanket disregard under the defense that she is a respected member of the community, as if we should all put on the kid gloves when applying criticism to her blog post. Ironic.

> Nearly every post you quoted is a rational opinion which deserves a fair refutation Not they are not. They are mostly emotional attacks presented without any evidence. > It's insulting for you to aggregate these comments How so? > as if we should all put on the kid gloves when applying criticism to her blog post The comments I quoted weren't criticising her blog post they were attacking her as a person.

  > They are mostly emotional attacks presented without any evidence. Oh, but they use such extremely formal and legal-sounding language. Doesn't that mean they're being purely logical? Sarcasm aside, some years back I noticed that I started using language like that when I was feeling angry & defensive. "How could they say that!? I'll take 'em apart with my razor-sharp rhetoric..." I figured out after a while that whatever I was writing was probably best thrown out, and the conversation saved for when I had a cooler head (and a bit of perspective).
