Rubystreak

Earlier, I mentioned this "Rubystreak" person on the Straight Dope message boards. Boy, is she a piece of work! (I'm assuming that she's female, based on comments that she's made. I could be wrong, but for now, let's assume that she is.)

Talk about huffy. A few days ago, this person got all upset because another poster said that she was "misguided." Gasp! How shocking!

Calling someone "misguided" is not an insult. Puh-leez.

She seems to have an ongoing feud with that other poster. For example, another participant asked them both to drop a particular topic with regard to TV's "The Apprentice." Whey Rubystreak's opponent continued the discussion, Rubystreak got all riled up. She said (and I'm paraphrasing here) "You were asked to drop this topic, and yet you continue! How dare you!"

Days later, yet another poster chided her for that. (I think his name was "Liberal.") He pointed out that this was a public message board, and that people were free to discuss the topics they wanted unless the moderator objected.

Apparently though, this Rubystreak lass (or chap?) feels that she can bully other people into discussing on the topics that she wants discussed. If she feels that a topic should be dropped, then by gum, people had better drop it. Talk about infantile!

Rubystreak, if you ever read this, you should be ashamed of yourself. You are such a child.
