CTR...Great post. The following is my opinion from what I have learned in my many back and forths with "Lie Schlub" about bashers and Southern Girl in particular and to a lesser degree asserdan. You have to be careful about how you word your responses to her. SG is going to delete almost any post that is in any way negative towards her as a personal attack or asks any question directly to her as off topic. She knows right off the bat that if those types of posts are restored by me or another mod, she is going to challenge them as a TOS violation and she is going to have Lie Schlub back her up. After all as you pointed out they want people like her on their site. It only takes one of those negative posts to generate at least 4 or 5 responses to it and that is great for Lie Schlub. As we see, she will only ask questions, not answer them.
Instead of calling her out directly we need to say things like "someone might think..." or "a certain poster might say..." That way it can't be said that it is a personal attack, it is just a generalization, but everyone really knows who it is directed at. And as hard as it might be, we just can't attack her directly or it is going to get removed. She can attack SFRX as much as she wants, but we cannot even remotely attack her. She knows the system and plays it well. We have to adapt to the system to make it work for us.
I try to restore as many posts as I can, but a lot of the time I have to let them stay as deleted, because I know when she goes to the TOS violation, Lie Schlub will send me the nasty PM saying not to restore messages that are clear TOS violations.
I also delete very few of her messages, because I believe that even the new people that come to the site catch on to her very quickly. Let them see her say the same thing 20 times and let them see her proven wrong every single time. She is proven wrong on almost every single thing she says.
I would love for her to come around and just enjoy the ride, but it isn't going to happen. When treasure is brought up, it either won't be enough or it won't be what she wanted. I would hate to live with a person that had this kind of "it is never good enough" attitude.
The best thing we have going is that in the end we know we will have the last laugh, because we know that SFRX is making us all a lot of money and we haven't even seen the real money yet when the treasure comes.
