Let me just state a disclaimer now: I do not know this woman, have never spoken with her, and only saw her blog for the first time today. I am not claiming that she is telling the truth because I do not know. Now that I have that disclaimer out of the way...
I think that the behavior in response to this is extremely poor. Everyone has been so quick to jump to the defense and become extremely snarky, accusing her of wanting only more hits on her page(s), lying, and being in league with the Anthonys (which is a big insult when you consider how many of you believe that the Anthonys are either murderers or harboring a murderer knowingly). I have always commented on how mature and level this site is with the intelligent posters and great discussions, but this is just the latest outrageous reaction I've seen lately.
Some have talked of this woman's ego, saying she thinks a little bit much of herself. How in the world can any of you claim that this is not true? Do you know every single poster? Every single guest and banned poster? Have you indeed seen her email? She didn't post the death threats, and maybe she didn't realize that she would need to in order to stop the mud slinging on here. I hope she does post them if they're true, and I hope that Tricia takes the appropriate action.
Still, until someone does find out the truth, I do not think this snarky and immature reaction is necessary. Ive not been posting on this site for long, but I have been reading for years, and one thing that has always impressed me is the rational and logical discussions that occur here. Lately however, that isnt always easy to find.
I read over her blogs and so far I just see some opinions that may be different than the majority of the posters here, and is that the reason that youre all so upset at her claims? What if she does produce proof that she has received death threats from a WS member (or someone who claims to be)? What will you all say then? Someone earlier in this thread claimed that someone needs to apologize for her claims, but if the claims ARE true, I think there are a lot of apologies owed to her.
