Well, since you asked - yes, it was necessary, and no, it wasn't harsh. Let me go in a bit further...
It's my opinion based on my experience and how I believe she represented herself online
I've seen plenty of fonts/personas/avatars come and go in the last 10 years on this board, many of them had the same deal - acted hard with a keyboard, had stans who followed them religiously, and simply did not have the skills to agree to disagree with others. Basic highschool antics. She was very rude, militant, and
extra for no reason in many threads.
Well, her e-drama has caught up to her. Karma is a b!tch and so was she. May she have better luck IRL or in the cyber world when she reinvents herself under a different screen name
