Quote from Angela's post: "If [Tuteur] feels so strongly, why wont she come on our turf and discuss it here? And why does she spend so much energy demanding that Henci prove herself when in fact, Amy should be the one doing the explaining? Not that I'm trying to encourage an all out battle in this forum, mind you.... "

The first time Tuteur invaded this Forum, I had no idea who she was. After taking her seriously and writing detailed, thoughtful responses to her in a couple of back-and-forths, I realized I was dealing with what my son, much more knowledgeable than I, called a "troll," that is, someone who attempts to hijack a message board by bullying and being belligerant. During that same time period, a correspondent told me who she is and her agenda and advised me not to "feed the dragon," advice I heartily recommend to all of you. After thinking about it, I decided that the fair thing to do is to limit her to one post and one rebuttal to whatever I wrote in response. After that, I would delete further posts. That way she could have her say, but I would not permit her to use my Forum as another platform for an endless series of rants. I told her that was what I was going to do and I did it. And that is why you have not seen her on our "turf" until the past few days, when, as you can also see, I invoked my rule. It is, by the way, a rule I would apply to anyone else who behaves the way Tuteur does, but no one else ever has so far.
