I will fess up and say that it was me who originally suspected that she is a troll...or at least that she was behaving in a troll like way, in thee Dogs or Wolves thread she started in which she originally asked for information which Esca and I spent some time trying to provide, after which she posted this:
"Thanks guts, but I wasn't asking for the answers, I know what i think, I was asking for opinions!!! "
Now this was out of the blue. Why didn't she ask for opinions in the first place? There were absolutely no thanks on her part for our efforts in offering detailed information she had asked for. In addition, Blondie made it perfectly clear that she wasn't actually looking for information...that she was looking for disagreement so that she could offer her opinion...which is clearly counter to everyone else's, including PhD's and researchers. Now that may seem like a strong opinion to you, Sooty, but to me that looks like a deliberate attempt to stir up discord. I put out a short troll alert in order to prevent an argument.
After that, Blondie has been sarcastic to me personally as when I said I was taking the dogs out, she commented "lucky LUCKY dogs" and remarked that I didn't understand them. However you must have missed that ad hominem attack...I just ignored it.
Adam asked me to stop personally attacking B. and I did so and apologised for losing my temper...and have had nothing to say to B. after that.
Now I don't understand why it has taken you a week or so to bring all this up. AFAIAA the whole thing was history. But if you want to take a pop at someone, it's me you should be threatening, not Selkie. However I prefer that you do it without threatening me or throwing your weight about. I too used to moderate a fairly large list and always found that diplomacy works beettere than strutting your stuff.
