I've called people out who I think are ridiculous but not if I know there are real issues at play. I'm not saying we should be supportive and like everyone, but acknowledge there are some people going through rough times and if being on GC and not being pleasant gets them through another day and through their shit in one piece I can ignore it because at least they are making contact with the world somehow.
Not that I know enough about Drolefille's personal life and motivation to be for sure anything is really going on, but am applying this to other people who have been here and not always been in sync with us and it is obvious something larger is at play whether it is ever confirmed or not.

It's not a matter of "posting in a way I don't like". As someone in the psych field, she should realize that sometimes it takes a harsh call-out to wake up and take a look at what you are doing. I've gone this road on GC myself - being a total bitch (not just snarky) until someone called me out on it and made me take a look back at myself. Yeah, I hated that person for saying it (for awhile, I got over it...in fact I'm not even 100% sure who it was. I'm thinking kddani) - but I needed to hear it. I was taking personal issues out here and had a complete personality flip flop. Once I recognized it, I could make the decision to stop. Yes, I still get bitchy sometimes - but it's more of a mood thing and not a constant.
