Second, here is the obnoxious email she sent me:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hey Greg,<\/p>\n<p>You know, decades ago on Holysmoke I had a long running vendetta with an unemployed, disabled fundy radio guy living in a trailer from near where you are. (ie, the lower intestinal tract of the United States) Jim Staal.  I pissed him off so bad that he finally said I deserved to be beaten by my husband.  You can google &#8220;Gwenny the Pooh&#8221; and &#8220;Jim Staal&#8221; and probably still find bits of the conversation. You know the ONLY difference between the two of you?  He&#8217;s my friend on Facebook. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a little screenshot for you. I&#8217;m putting it every where I can.<br \/>\n\ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Gwenny<br \/>\nyahoo id gtpooh<br \/>\nOne person, One vote!<br \/>\nFreedom of Religion means Freedom of ALL Religions<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Third, <a href=\"http:\/\/i363.photobucket.com\/albums\/oo74\/gstodd\/Humor\/gregladen.jpg\">here&#8217;s the graphic<\/a> showing her sign off and me telling her to get bent.  What you don&#8217;t see here is the other conversation, the one she actually went of in a huff about. (I assume, because the graphic is of a thread that refers to someone else&#8217;s blog post.)<\/p>\n<p>The drama, the drama!!!!  The internet was getting so dull this afternoon, I&#8217;m glad to have the drama back.<\/p>\n<p>In the above email, note the phrase &#8220;I had a long running vendetta with&#8230;&#8221;   What is the meaning of that?  Do people have vendettas with each other?  I thought, usually, one person would have a vendetta against another.  Later in the very same email, Gwenny The Pooh notes that she is posting her graphic everywhere she can.  So, I guess that means the vendetta is against me.<\/p>\n<p>How about that.  A gun nut and an AGW denialist.  Not liking me.
