I'm sorry, am I missing something here? I haven't had time to keep
up with the main board lately, but I just went back and read Lee's
last few posts. Other than the verbose handle and a little poem in
her signature, I see absolutely nothing to distinguish the content of
her posts from the hundreds of other posters. She hasn't preached,
she hasn't tried to convert anyone, she hasn't even presented
anything remotely controversial in her posts. Suddenly she's an
aggressive proselytizer, spooky, and unwise, all due to a harmless,
pretty generic phrase? Come on.
At the very least, could this be taken to OT-Chatter, where Lee could
have the chance to defend herself? All this has nothing to do with
the catalogue.
