You gotta google "Kim Stewart Tumwater" to get the five or six results before you start seeing the Kim Stewart who graduated from Tumwater High School in whenever and then Rod's daughter.
Every single one of those sites were authored by Mary.
So at worst, if someone from your old High School looks you up, they might see Mary's pages, and not invite you to the Tumwater High School Reunion? This is supposed to be a bad thing?
I'm guessing Mary has never been to a High School reunion?
I guess I'm sure enough that if someone who knows who I am but doesn't know me well, and reads Mary's blogs, that Mary's crazy will outshine all else. I hope anyway. If a person is prone to read and believe that kind of invective, then they are they type to say or write it about someone else, and even if they are a potential new boss, I wouldn't want to work for a person like that.
Potential employers are my "at worst" case scenario, although I plan to stay where I am until I throw my back out for good :D and have to get a desk job. So my worst case scenario is already "handled", sorta. Mary has not managed to make an impression on my current employer after twice trying. The folks I've surrounded myself with, who's opinion of me matters, are not the type to change their mind about me because of a nutjob's defamo blogs. I think Mary knows deep down that this is a little "war" between me and her only. I have friends from the support network who do read my blog and know of Mary, but I tell them unless they want the same kind of attention, stay out. Laugh with me about it, but don't put yourself in her line of fire.
As with reading Barb Camwell Ness's dream documents, Mary's daily verbal diarrhea gives insight into how pathological people tick. It's a subject who's fascination hasn't let up once for the last five years.
@Gimpy: bless you, you ask why I read BCN's stuff if it hurts me so much :) If it hurt me, I wouldn't be reading it. I mean, caused me direct "damage". I can see how it COULD, and so I do wonder if there's the possibility of focusing on the negative. I'm an oncology nurse, and have to be careful to manage the extreme sadness my job can cause, and probably (I haven't thought this through til you mentioned it) I do a similar thing when I find out something new about BCN. I have a little farm, I love the critters, I do rescue ducks and geese about to be eaten from Craigslist, I love to write and research my interests on the internet, have a bunch of artistic hobbies that I enjoy.
SOMEONE has to be willing and able to face the 'paths and do what needs doin' about them. Can't say the American Psychological Association or shrinks or the criminal justice system is able to handle ALL of the manifestations of these creeps in folks' daily life.
