Good lord. There were tons of comments I could respond to but I'll just say it all generally, to everyone:
For those who don't know, the reason many have issue with Jamie is something of her character that can, actually, be quite easily gleaned by simply reading her posts. She's very condescending towards other members of the forum, which is hilarious since she's the one who is instantly "hurt for the rest of her life" by various comments that show a lack of respect towards her. But more than that is the fact that she tends to simply be wrong many times, yet stubbornly clings to her punches and refuses to admit she's wrong, all in the delusional aspiration that doing so will maintain - or somehow build - her status as an "intellectual."
Jamie, I think I speak on behalf of many of those disgruntled with your postings in this thread and many in the past when I say this, but we really don't mean any harm or disrespect to you; most of us here at Southperry don't to any member, new or old. However, the instant someone displays an inability to correct gross inaccuracies, especially in the presence of blatant, external correction, and accompanies such actions with a condescending attitude towards those attempting to set the facts straight...that's the instant perceptions take a turn for the worse. Like someone said in the infamous DADT thread, you're a very smart girl, and there's no denying that when reading your usage of the English language throughout your posts, but perhaps taking the time to reevaluate your perspectives of "always needing to present a minority opinion," "always needing to expand the realm of thought on an issue," and the like would be a wise idea. Lord knows we all try and look at issues from your view, but honey, time after time they're just not always correct or appropriate.

Spoiler
if I need to be reported for "flaming" for this. I presented the facts as they exist, choosing the words found in any English language dictionary that apply for the actions we've all seen of the aforementioned user, and did my best to explain how I'm not trying to tear down, but provide constructive criticism - publicly, of course. With that said, do what you will.
