Bull. She knew what she was posting was a deliberate twisting of Thompson's words. She was called on her deception correctly. She's been making similar snide comments about Thompson for some time, it's not just an isolated incident.
Instead, she was baited and banned.
No one baited her. She made a bogus statement and was called on it. She was given ample opportunity and warnings to quit that particular line of attack, and she persisted. Don't blame the rest of us for the fact that she basically asked to be zotted.
I think an objective reading of the record leads one to different conclusions than those you’ve both expressed regarding Veronica. Just my opinion. All are free to ignore it and move on.
