Yes, I remember that clearly from nic_echo. It's both interesting and appalling that she practices what she preaches. And I agree about her awful posts - my point was that she always maintains a veneer of being the totally-oblivious, wronged it's-just-'cos-I-dance-to-a-different-beat!individualist, and openly condoning bullying would be a step too far for that persona. Now, "getting revenge", I can see her condoning. But only so long as she plays the originally-wronged party.
I could be wrong, however. I don't think anyone sporking Danse Macabre back when it first came out could have guessed that she'd start pulling stunts with the "e-specials" and exposing her bile as openly as Shutdown.
...TBH, I'd wonder if she was on drugs if I didn't strongly suspect she'd parade it in her books if she was. I don't care if she's an utter narcissist - I would swear that narcissists don't drop their guard THIS much unless there was an underlying cognitive issue in development. Both her blogs and her books have gotten more and more disjointed and shallow with time, and I'm not sure that's just disinhibition talking.
I don't like speculating about authors' mental health, but I'm honestly getting unnerved.
