Yep, you get it all!
Thanks for 'taking it on the chin' for all of us!
Problem is, we don't want Laura 'taking it on the chin' for us, everyone needs to be aware of what they are doing at all times to prevent attacks from happening. You do realize that Laura and her family can be physically hurt when these things happen? Maybe I've misunderstood your meaning.
I agree that it is VERY important that everyone be aware of these attacks. Awareness and discussion can diffuse or sometimes eliminate the negative effects - after all, what the attackers (like Kate, or VB, etc.) are after, is a negative effect on Laura herself, her family, and FCM members. Negative effects such as emotional upset leading to weakened immune system, lawsuits (either the attacker filing or threatening to file one, or trying to lure people into filing an expensive lawsuit), and just eating up time and energy of Laura and forum members.
As long as everyone is aware of what the attacker is doing, through uncovering the attacks and diffusing their negative effects through analysing and discussing (and other means, if necessary), I don't think ANYONE needs to "take it on the chin." This thread, and the "Kate Gandolfo" thread, do that very well, in my opinion.
