This is indeed a long overdue pitting. She has got to be one of the stupidest posters on this board - the post about Asimov stealing from her published paper was especially jaw-dropping. There is no way on gods green earth that that woman studied biology, went to grad school, or did anything else that would remotely qualify her to write a peer-reviewed scientific paper. The fact that she could possibly think that she could claim such a thing and have other people believe her is a prime example of the Dunning–Kruger effect in action.

I also remember her charming thoughts in a thread about being childfree by choice:

> I still stand by my original statement that for most people life is pointless without kids. On the other hand, I dont mean to imply that most people “\*should \*” have kids. Lots, if not most, parents are so poor or so incompetent or so dishonest or so selfish or so lazy or so dumb that I dont think they should have had kids.

Delightful.
