Forgive the double post. But, if the real Lori Drew is the author of that blog, perhaps what we’re seeing is deep, deep denial.
People are generally inclined to accept guilt, even when it’s not really necessary. And death shakes up a person’s world view. It’s not unheard of for someone, upon hearing of the death of someone they didn’t like, to wonder, “Should I have been nicer to them?” or at least, “Was it worth it to hate them so much? If I’d known they only had a few years left…”
Lori might simply be unable to accept the enormous consequences of her actions. The defense of her motives and attacks on Megan’s character might spring from a frantic need to justify Megan’s suicide to herself, to tell herself that it couldn’t possibly be her fault in any way, that she did what she did for a noble reason – protecting her daughter, who herself could have suicided as a result of being bullied – and that Megan was a menace to society and deserves no sympathy, and her parents were negligent, and all the rest of that bull.
Perhaps she can’t admit culpability, because that would mean admitting that she’s the lowest of the low. And that would be a hard thing to face. Accepting it might drive her to suicide herself, so denial would be self-preservation. She does sound like a drama queen herself (even if she did have a valid grievance against Megan, who’d have listened to this hysterical cow?), so blaming others is probably par for her.
That’s if she’s the person posting on MHIC, of course. If it’s not her, then we’re looking at the troll of all time. Right at the peak of a hot, and hot-button, issue, someone posts in defense of the already-despised perpetrator, giving everyone a forum for their outrage, and gives more and more of the same in multiple replies, never letting it die down. And does this knowing that they have the perfect cover – impersonating someone who became notorious for impersonating someone else. If it’s really not Lori, who’d believe her when she said, “No, I didn’t open a blog pretending to be a teenager”?
