		<description>Thanks, to captain, Bryan, Mike and Geoff for the comments and links.

Now, I&#039;m going to suggest that people not comment anymore.  The reason why?

Amanda has attempted to post a comment.  It has, of course, long been banned from this site.

So, unable to lash out at me here ... it resorted to taking the names of all those that posted here and sent yet another profane email to all of us.  Yes, the email did contain the Amanda obligatory threat (it always remembers to threaten).

So, I suggest we let it drop here.  The point was made.  That&#039;s what matters and I don&#039;t want anyone else to have to put up with the nonsense this troll doles out.

Have a good weekend.  I&#039;m going to.

&lt;h2&gt;Comments are turned off on this post, due to &lt;strike&gt;spam&lt;/strike&gt;, er - threats ... well, both.&lt;/h2&gt;

		<description>Mark, that&#039;s completely non-responsive to the issue of offline harassment.  This is about fear and intimidation, not jealously.  

Robert&#039;s post resonated becaused it echoed the experience of those who challenged &quot;Amanda&quot; but were long ago silenced.  You&#039;d like to think they were silenced by the force of &quot;Amanda&#039;s&quot; mighty pen -- but the reality is much, much uglier.  Do a Google search if you care to know the truth.

Shame on you if you&#039;ll stand by &quot;Amanda&quot; without doing your own research on what&#039;s occurred.  It&#039;s beyond hypocritical.</description>

		<description>Even without being plugged into this Amanda thing (I only read one linked post about it in the beginning,) I have to say this post made my day for calling out bad behavior, though the story  is so odd I briefly wondered if it were real until I realized I&#039;d never seen anything short of honesty here. I am so glad I completely missed whatever Amanda wrought, but even with my lack of familiarity with the history, it reinforces a nagging suspicion -- that sometimes I&#039;m not sure I &lt;em&gt;want &lt;/em&gt;the internet to make the world a smaller place.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll agree with Geoff and let the Strumpette body of work stand or fall on its own. Jealousy, the green monster, prevails here. I appreciate all the great work that so many PR leaders contributed to Strumpette because they felt they finally had a forum where excellence prevails and creativity was supported.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mark Rose:&lt;/strong&gt;  &quot;Yes, there was some collateral damage. But that always happens in a real battle.&quot;  Mark, I can only derive from your comment that you are too tied to your own involvement with Amanda to be able to step back and fairly evaluate the entire history of the site and its authors.  The most important evaluation being, of course, the hidden activities that actually ran contrary to all that the site claimed to be fighting for in the first place.  Your whole comment is a perfect example of the blind sheep I referred to above.  That &quot;collateral damage&quot; you refer to are real people, their spouses and children.  It is a fact that many suffered from Amanda&#039;s petty, childish games.  And that did not have to happen.  There is no justification for it, period.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Regarding the &quot;Another stalkee&quot; commenting above&lt;/strong&gt;, please note that this is a comment only anonymous to you.  I know who it is.  I remember what happened to them, both in public and in private.  It was truly ugly.  Their very act of commenting anonymously, I feel, is testament to the damage done by Amanda.  Even today, they prefer to not be identified and once again suffer the possible pounding in the back channels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Geoff Livingston:&lt;/strong&gt; I&#039;m sorry it happened to you, too.  And, I agree that the minions of Amanda are still out there.  I fear that once they bought in, they haven&#039;t the ability to step back and take account of the true broader landscape and consequences.  So, they continue the fight, realizing that they are now stained by willing association.  They want to try and hold on to their own imagined credibility.  Mark is just one of many, who I imagine are now quite lonely, examples.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alice Marshall:&lt;/strong&gt;  The legal/judicial remedies are limited and not well defined.  Plus, as was pointed out, they are costly and time-consuming with no promise of justice at the end.  More importantly, there are those that do know who the real instigators are, yet they lack the true character to now identify them publicly.  Instead, they now bear the stains of association and seem bent on trying to preserve their own public personas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Peter Himler:&lt;/strong&gt;  Thanks for commenting, Peter.  If that doesn&#039;t say it all, I don&#039;t know what will.  If any more come to defend the tactics of Amanda and her ilk, and have read that, well ... there really isn&#039;t any hope for them is there.&lt;/p&gt;
