  This quote from her made me laugh:

" I once even shaved my hair off to make a point and to demand eyecontact, not people looking at me, in situations dealing with my study and work... "

I almost asked her what the results were, but I figured the answer was glaringly apparent.

She even took Mark Edward to task and mentioned she didn't want his compliments. Sorry, she has a double chin, no taste in clothes, and looks like a Swedish hausfrau who discovered acrylic nails that are out of date fashion-wise. 

I must admit I have also never understood some people on the JREF's ongoing obsession with Anita's appearance.

She has very blonde hair. Um how exciting.

I'm not sure why that gets people on the JREF forums in such a tizzy of excitement. Do they not ever venture onto their high streets and see other women?

If she was redhead I could see it, maybe, although there's still the thing about bein' 2½ axe-handles across the arse.

The best explanation I have for it is the 10-years-old/retouched photos that she whacks up on her website from time to time.
 

2.5 axe handles? Is this some sort of Lizzie Borden reference? Because you might be onto something. (Any bets on whether Anita PMs UncaYimmy to complain about how it upsets her to be compared to 19th century axe-murderers?)

I'd also like to publicly note my disgusted amusement at this week's developments. I'll limit myself to commenting that I've heard crazy girls are wilder in bed. Anita's role model Marilyn Monroe is exhibit A here. (Although Anita is maybe going for more of a ghost-Harlow look?)

(Oh, shut up, all you prim moralist skeptics who think comments should be limited to dry discussions of wacko paranormal claims. If you think my comment's not relevant to this whole affair, you've spent wayyyyyy too much time in the library stacks. Alone.)

Anita has been banned from the JREFF.

I reported her this morning for attacking LiD's academic credentails yet again...but I honestly didn't expect that the ban hammer would fall. Not sure that was why, either, although she was on probation.

ETA: Apparently, accusing GeeMack of being a rapist was the final straw.

It was this posting of hers...

Is GeeMack rapist? Well? Think of the potential damage if he is left unchecked!

You absolutely can not attack me for crimes that I have not done, nor am I likely to do any time in the future, simply because of your delusions that I be the next Sylvia Browne? I AM ONLY INVESTIGATING A CLAIM!

... then she tried to make excuses in the posting after Locknar edited it...

... then, well the rest is history!

What excuses did she make?

I reported her post with the tasteless rapist comment and included her quote in my report. And I sent a PM to Locknar, Tricky, and Darat with her post quoted. A few minutes later three post simply vanished, her post, my post where I quoted it and only wrote "For the record," and UncaYimmy's post where he quoted hers and added some comments.

I PMed the mods and admin again saying I was very disappointed they just made the posts vanish. I told them I was tired of getting yellow cards for on topic, civil, polite, relevant posts and watching them sweep up behind her as she pranced around taking a crap on people.

Locknar wrote back apologizing for deleting the posts without notice. He said he had edited the posts and replaced Anita's and UncaYimmy's and would replace mine if I wanted, but with Anita's quote edited out of course. I said thanks for the reply, but don't bother replacing my post.

After her post was mod-edited and replaced in the thread she edited it some more herself. She wrote in some excuses to Locknar about how the rapist comment was a joke and the link to her site explained it. She also said, "Sorry GeeMack."

Apparently that was the final straw, although in the ban notice in FM announcements Lisa Simpson said, "VisionFromFeeling has been banned for breach of the Membership Agreement while on probation." It seems likely the smartass attack itself would have been enough.

Hi Jim. I know you don't want me to write to you, but I just want to tell you. Besides if I posted it in the Forum, or on my website, you would read it.

On my way back home from Los Angeles I had a stop in Phoenix before my connecting flight and just have to say you guys live on the sand in the middle of nowhere! There was like sand instead of grass alongside the roads and pathways. It looked so bizarre.
