To be clear, I like her
As have I... ( though I manifestly do not like what she has chosen to do here)...
If anyone doubts this, I ask them to go back and look at the record....
I used to talk to LoCa on the phone on a regular basis; I have no personal animosity towards LoCa whatsoever...
She has never targeted me for any attacks...
I have
never been a part of any "piling on" against LoCa...
To the contrary, even as her behavior became worse and worse, and even as more and more folks around here gave up on her, I continued to hold out hope that she she would give this crap up...
When other people said she wasn't responding to the mediation quickly enough, I said that I thought that wasn't fair; giver her a chance...
I came
very reluctantly to voting for her suspension, and made very clear that I felt she should get a fresh start when she came back to the board.
When after she came back and she resumed her obsessive behavior, and the proposal was put forward that she be banned permanently; I voted against it....
Over and over again, for more than a year, I have
implored LoCa, patiently and politely, to move away from this path...
There are plenty of quotes to back this up....
The idea that
I am a part of some sort of "LoCA Lynch Mob" is utterly absurd, and
completely unsupported by the record..
What I am, at this point, is
fed up...
If I were going to come up with one word that best describes my attitude towards LoCa at this point, that word would be...
exasperated...
She has knocked the legs out from under anyone who would want to give her the benefit of the doubt...
The only way this ends, finally once and for all, is if she just
knocks if off now, and doesn't try to find another other way to start it up....
Maybe that's finally going to happen...
She hasn't posted for a couple of days...
Maybe when she comes back, she'll
finally let this go...
Hope springs eternal....
