The Curse of 100blessings

It was bound to happen. I have my first internet stalker/harasser. She is a rabid anti-vaxer who took offense at something I said about 35 posts ago. Since that time, she has made it her mission in life to mock me, call me hurtful and apparently, monitor my posts on multiple boards. I am getting concerned that she might show up on my driveway one of these days. I angered her further this week by giving my opinion on Jenny McCarthy. According to her, only a mother of a child actually diagnosed with autism can have an opinion on vaccines.

Her whole point seems to be that her child is one of the most severe and therefore, she can monitor who can go on what boards and ask what questions. It's pretty amazing that she can appoint herself judge, jury and executioner so easily. At the end of her last diatribe, she said that she wouldn't go on a prematurity board as the mother of a 36 weeker. Well, what if that 36 weeker had problems related to prematurity? It can and does happen. I have a good friend with a former 28 weeker. She has had few of the expected problems over the years--does that make her ineligible too? The competition for the worst-of-the-worst is disgusting and this woman is heavily invested in it.

I have definitely decided that the asd board is just not for me (or G for that matter). The atmosphere there is just bizarre, bordering on abusive. Now, off to change my screen name for every single place I have ever posted, just to make sure.
