And this:

"From: Kim C
Date: 25 Jan 04 - 03:10 AM

She wasn't seriously trying to advise me of anything - she made a flippant comment that was intended to be funny, but failed miserably. I called her on it..."

That says to me that Kim felt a need to put down a 15 year old. Apparently, she enjoys being able to put teenagers in their place, for attempting to act older than they are.

Note that Kim said she expects that an adult would have responded to her in just the way 15 year old Victoria did. That says to me that Kim recognizes that another adult wouldn't let Kim get away with what was obviously meant to be a personal put down from Kim.

So, if Kim would expect that sort of response from an adult, why the double standard for the 15 year old, whom Kim obviously felt justified in publicly humiliating?
