I don't think you are aware of the sort of stunts this "Babs" person
was up to.  It's one thing to ignore her postings, it's quite another
thing to ignore phone calls to your employer, which she allegedly made.

Myself, I responded to one of her posts with a message urging her to
continue!  I found her far too silly to see her leave, but then she
didn't call my employer (or did she?).

I guess Babs didn't understand any part of it - her account has been
yanked.  So much for _her_ rights - she's a hypocrite.

Here's the story we got out here on the left coast:
