If this person is in a position of importance in her own organization, then she should be embarrassed, not I. I’m obviously not familiar with the culture of this forum, or with the meaning of foreboding insider comments regarding her identity, but who she is matters little. Bullying is bullying, and bystanders are bystanders, wherever it occurs.
Perhaps some who have been immersed in the culture of this forum have become desensitized to heckling and personal attacks, and don’t realize how this plays to newcomers and infrequent visitors.
And yes, I understand that pointing it out and advocating for the vulnerable party is not advisable in such a culture – it works much the same on a playground.

No one is bullying you or anyone else here. Get real. After you assumed that Titchou was not involved with her sorority, it was pointed out to you that you have no idea what her involvement or her background is. Was she a little harsh with the OP? Yes, but it wasn't directed to you, and the OP actually handled herself quite well.
I hope it all works out for the OP's daughter.

I never witnessed a girl in that chapter being heckled, though if I had, I surely would have spoken up in her defense. I just stink at joining in and piling on with that sort of behavior.
