Imagine, if you will, that you're a normal person and then one day a quasi-famous mentally ill blogger becomes fixated on you the way Gollum was fixated on the Ring. Even though she hasn't been setting the world on fire lately, she has been on TV, on the Howard Stern show and she's written for the New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, & The Washington Times. Most people in the know realize she's off her rocker, but how many people are in the know? How many fans does she have who don't realize what she's really like?
So this person, this quasi-famous mentally ill blogger, starts claiming you support death threats against her. She tells people you're an anti-Semite. She calls your job and tries to get you fired. When she hears of people connected with you, she tries to contact them to lie about you. When people mention your name on the web, she shows up to tell untrue stories about you. Then, she starts going after your friends. She accuses them of supporting death threats against her and being anti-Semitic for being associated with you.
You tried ignoring her. It didn't work. You tried sincerely apologizing for offending her. Not only did it fail, she misrepresented what you apologized for in an effort to use it against you. Since she was a lawyer, you even eventually tried filing a complaint with the Michigan Bar, trying to get them to keep her from obsessively harassing/cyber stalking you; it didn't work. You hoped, over time, the obsession with you might fade. However, four years have gone by and it's still going as strong as it was in the beginning.

What a nut job. I would be surprised if she goes postal one day.
When you call someone mentally ill in print seems to me the only defense against libel is to be able to produce a doctor’s diagnosis. Possessing a doctor’s diagnosis without the permission of the DR and subject is illegal too. This guy is hosed.
No one ask her about Sarah. Okay?
She has made herself a public figure by blabbing her big mouth on the TV cable shows. I wish her luck on the libel suit.
I remember Debbie Schussel. My totally uninformed opinion is that she yearned to join Coulter, Malkin, even Melanie Morgan, and others on the top tier of conservative female pundits. When it didn’t come to pass she became bitter and defensive.
A paragraph or two of the average Debbie Schlussel column should convince anyone that she is indeed insane.
I used to like reading her writing. I don’t anymore.
I do not live near Debbie Schlussel, but have read some stuff that she wrote about a specific FBI agent in charge in Detroit that seems both accurate and troubling. I have even posted some of it here on FR in context of the militia “goobers” who where arrested by the FBI recently.
Is she “unstable”? I do not have a clue, but she obviously does not have a lot of use for radical Islam, nor it’s protectors/apologists.
Will spend a little time looking at other subject matter she has written. At this point, my opinion of her writing is not negative. But I have not been targeted by her. I have been “targeted” by some lefties before, and do not like their distortion and lies.
I enjoyed (and agreed) with her writings until she went off the deep end. She’s just been wacky lately. i won’t read her at all anymore.
You know, I’m no doctor, but I have to imagine any psychiatrist could diagnose her with paranoid personality disorder based solely on her writing.
She has a photo of herself on her blog from about 10 years ago when she was normal weight. Now that's she's gone stark raving mad, she's just a fat, bleached blonde Ann Coulter wannabe with 1/2 the brains and double the body mass of Ann Coulter.
Anyone who calls Dennis Praeger, Michael Medved and Mark Levin anti-semites has lost absolutely all credibility and belongs with the tinfoil hat crowd.
Not to pile on, but I think it is also a glamour shot on a good day.
My opinion about here will be shaped by whatever comes out of the accusations she has made about Detroit FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Andrew Arena. (concerning the charges and arrest of the “goobers” in the Hutaree militia.)
She has been the only person I have seen questioning that ruse.
If here criticism is accurate about him, I support her.
I dont see what is uninformed about your opinion. You could be right on the money.
Although I have a feeling her vicious streak has pre-dated her ambition.
That’s the problem. She may be absolutely correct about that but she’s blown her credibility in a lot of other ways.
She should marry John Stossel and change her name to Debbie Schlussel-Stossel.
I hope she doesn’t read Mark’s Facebook page, from where I got the link to this article. He called her a nut job(and she is).
