I only tangled with nadinbrzezinski once. It was on a thread about the post office financial woes. She (I assume she)jumped in and said I was wrong about something....just found it in the Google cache...her title in her response to me is “No they did not”.

I immediately replied with a link (to Huffington to keep it legit in their eyes) which proved her to be the fool. Its an example of how I was able to be pretty rude, and get away with it, since facts are hard to fight. Here’s a snippet:

They absolutely did defer the pension payment, from FY 11 to FY 12. The $5 billion loss in FY11 was exclusively the difference in income and expense...completely outside of any pension payments, which were delayed until November ($5.5 billion). So, I really have no idea what you are talking about....I did not remember wrongly at all.

She did not respond.

I tended to avoid her, and many of what I call the ‘core’ group. There are probably around 50 members there with post counts over 40,000, and they make up the bulk of the posts. They are mostly zealots, and I imagine have diagnosed mental disorders (and I’m not being flippant). They have a sense of personal ownership over the site, and are quick to ‘tattle’ on people. I have seen people who crossed their path get tombstoned for very minor slights.

But I got away with it that one time. Obviously I didn’t get away with it today, though.
