Sadly, her postings provide abundant fuel for criticism. One could spend days on that matter, but I don't want to waste time with that. Several posters did comment on her angry and jerkish behavior, and frankly, I have to side with them in that regard.
Here's a perfect example. In one thread, she described Donald Trump's chief operating officer (a Mister "Calamari" according to one poster) as an idiot. One poster (her chief opponent, apparently) pointed out that such a judgment is extreme. Calamari had an apparent case of stage fright, and he bumbled his way through his commentary on Jenn Massey. That's hardly a good reason to call him an idiot, though. There are many people who aren't good at public extemporaneous speaking; that doesn't make them idiots. Or does Rubystreak hold that opinion because he doesn't like Jenn? If so, then Rubystreak's judgment is still unfair, since we don't know exactly WHY he dislikes her.
When challenged on that matter, Rubystreak retorted, "Calling someone an idiot is not extreme. Please."
Um, Rubystreak? Nobody said that calling someone an idiot is [em]inherently[/em] extreme. What's extreme is calling Calamari an idiot given what little we saw of him.
In fact, you QUOTED the section wherein your opponent said "And on what grounds is this accusation made, exactly? Because he expressed derision for Jenn? Because he stumbled over his words? Neither of those makes someone an idiot, and so that label is rather extreme." Did you even bother to read the section that you quoted?
(Interestingly enough, Rubystreak had previously criticized someone for allegedly "twisting" her words around. I didn't see that such alleged "twisting" was either accurate or intentional; however, Rubystreak's words are certainly an obvious distortion of the facts.)
As an aside, this is the same individual who went ballistic when someone said that her opinion was "misguided." Um, hello? She doesn't think there's anything extreme about calling someone an "idiot," and yet she raises hell over the word "misguided"? What is wrong with this person?
I have to agree with the posters who said,
"I thought Dex was pretty even-tempered. In every Apprentice thread, Rubystreak's obsession with defending Jen has been heavy-handed, tempermental, and angry."
(Addressed to Rubystreak) "Why should he drop the subject? You don't drop subjects easily yourself, as I know from experience. Just because you and several other posters don't like someone talking about Jenn in an Apprentice thread doesn't mean members are obligated to walk on glass and discuss only what pleases you and your buddies. This is a public message board. Look out your window. See those bipedal creatures? Those are 'other people'."
Like I said, I seldom comment on these people that I come across on the 'net, but this woman is a rather unusual case -- for someone who's not an apparent troll, that is.
