So she called an employer, this _is_ a public forum.

If you were to write a stupid letter to a newspaper and it was forwarded
to your employer, would you insist that the newspaper ban that person
(who forwarded the letter) from reading the paper; writing to the paper?
Or would you insist that the newspaper not print any more of your
letters - even though you wrote it?

I am not condoning her actions.

I do not share a lot of her opinions.

But this idea of launching a bogus campaign to have her ISP toss her was
just plain silly.

If people thought she was soooooo whacky.  

If she's soooooo offensive.

If she's unbalanced as some have claimed, then why the hell do they pay
any attention to her?  Why provoke an unbalanced person to continue
their rage?  Why continue the torment when if you where to ignore the
comments or ernestly try to 'connect', the situation may resolve its
self more favourably for all parties involved.
