I start a thread and am instantly attacked. I respond, and then the smears and downright lies start.

It becomes pointless: because whatever I say is just ignored. The venimous campaign from "sarah louise" continues, with one false allegation after another (and why would someone post dozens of foul messages against the Corbys if they weren't driven by something?).

Yet no-one looks at her conduct and wonders why. I guess its because she is one of your own.

Sure: I feel strongly about someone suffering like that. That's what drives me. Why don't you ask yourselves why drives her?
