If you take even a casual glance at posting histories -- who responds to who, who praises who (and how quickly), who appears only in threads already inhabited by who else, etc. -- it is quite obvious that there is a deeply disturbed gang of one at play here.

Sad really. And it is a shame that a long-time, honest and registered member like EmmaB should be driven off by this crap (and continue to get abuse after leaving).
