I am curious as to how many attempted to visit her site and post responses to her initial article?

As I mentioned, the thread had been removed before I could post a response. As I recall, there was one person defending her and two rebutting. Sounds kinda thin-skinned, so maybe there were more. I don't know how many e-mails she got.

How many will attempt to respond to this newest one?

Not me... waste of time. (See below.)

Why is ignoring her going to be seen as shutting anyone up?

Responding to her simply gives her another target for her invective. No responses, no targets. She may decide to write an article about "those cowards at the BABB", but... consider the source. This is a woman who is so insecure in herself that she cannot allow any, any public criticism of her opinions and must respond to it with childish name-calling. (Ad hominem is far more mature than what she is doing.)

Will anyone here be hurt by her feelings of superiority?

Not me. She spouts public feelings of superiority, but that usually just masks private feelings of inferiority. Look at the drooling cadre of admirers she has surrounding her; they keep reinforcing that she can do no wrong. And when someone tells her she is wrong, she deletes them, bans them, and attacks them.

I should care what she thinks about me? Sorry, I have better ways to spend my time... like rinsing out my shorts.
