Actually, She's already back in business with a new ISP.

As a "one line jerk poster" (to use her words), I find myself wondering
exactly what the
drivel she spews and perpetuates contributes to this or any newsgroup. Her
posts, 
while they occasionally have some small substance, are offensive,
destuctive and
generally detrimental to the feminist cause she claims to espouse. 

She are a narrow-minded petty woman whose bitterness towards all men cries
out for professional counselling. 

Because she are blinded by this bitterness, she doesn't even recognize that
the majority of the posts are made to taunt and goad her into her typical 
inappropriate responses. I hope she getsthe help she so obviously need.
