So what?  It really doesn't matter what her track record shows, it is still
pretty insensitive to make fun of her like that.  You can be fed up, 
disenchanted, disinterested, skeptical, etc. with Patsy Pease, but I
still think she deserves some basic human respect.

                                                 Oh, is that what it's 
                                                 called?

record?) deleted]

Her DOOL portfolio might read like a joke.  Her personal problems
still are not.

Greg handled this too well for me to add anything worthwhile.

You're coming out with quite an accusation based upon speculation and
a very poor understanding of psychological trauma.  We don't know the
entire story so there is really no sense in passing judgement.  Say 
what you will about her acting and even her unwise decision to return
this past summer, or whenever.   But please, don't just go off making
up stuff as you go along about her personal problems.

You still think she deserves some ridiculing?   I'm sorry, but I'm
still not laughing over here.  I certainly hope that Patsy Pease's
family never has to hear such things.
