On a personal note: I have talked to Rollergirl on GC AOL chats, and she seems very intelligent and caring. Perhaps like most of us she was having a bad day and didn't exactly mean what she typed out. I know a lot of us do that at times. So let's hope instead of jumping down her back, that's what happened.
I think instead of making snarky remarks or making fun of her we should help her think about why she wants to pursue AI. Lots of y'all were doing that and helping out. I just feel a lot of tension in this thread, and I think we can all benefit from backing down that tension.

Unfortunately she has a long history of creating GC threads and posts that are messed up. This wasn't a just a bad day, one or two time only thing. She said some stuff that has really offended people.
Some of her posts are locked and in the mod's corner, others are still out there.
It's very much understandable for people to be upset in the way she's discussed some of these groups. Especially people who are members of those groups, they have every right to be upset.
ETA: UKDaisy, are you sure you're talking to the right person in the chats? I haven't been a part of a chat in a long time, but I didn't think she participated. If you have talked to her, then maybe she should try to show that side of herself on here more.
In any event, she's still a student. She can't AI right now. Which she does know. But I don't know that any group would take anyone close after their graduation- it just smacks of "i didn't get a bid so i'm gonna do this". I do think members of our glos trust other members to make membership decisions. If she wasn't right for XYZ during undergrad, she's not going to be right for XYZ right after graduation. Maybe after a few years of growing up and changing, but it's very unlikely that any group would even consider someone so close after graduation like this situation.
