I don't recall Blake being "run off". He likely chose to leave because
he was already very ill by that time. Who started this whole "bullied"
thread, anyway? What's the point of it?!

I don't actually care what anyone says about me now or after I'm dead.
I'm called names all the time, mostly by nymshifting trolls whose posts
I don't see until people reply. No skin off my nose if someone wants to
call me McBiddy (although I do think it's very childish). No problem
being called a "princess" by Gary (also childish), in his attempts to
lump me in with the former resident drama queen.

1.) Your recollections on this matter are suspect.

2.) "Very ill" and bullied is a really awful combination.

3.) I started the bully thread, thank you very much!

4.) The point? Why to shame the bullies into acting like decent people
who can talk about cooking without being rampant gangstalkers.

You demonstrate that daily, always have.

Iow, you get back what you put out - classic karma.

As opposed to your numerous insults of Kuthe?

Iow, several folks have had it up to here with your shrewish insult fests!

Getting the picture yet, dearie?

You're no longer Jill McBiddy, you're now Jill McKuthe, since the sole
purpose of your existence seems to be to put down John Kuthe.

The whole question is kinda dumb. If they had been bullied out of here
they would not be here to answer.
