But Dorsey she was petty first! <in best 7 yr old whiny tone>

It is definitely not worth anybody's time anymore dealing with her,
I've done my best to ignore her as much as possible for months. Now
and then I slip, I'm human, I make mistakes. Her attack on me over
something labeled clearly as a vent in the first sentence was too hard
to ignore and I gave her back the same sort of crap she gave me. It
was beneath me, and I'm going to try once again to ignore the rest of
her drivel again.
