>Conversely, I feel sorry for Naomi. I know she doesn't have a lot of self-esteem and have told her to toughen up before. She even asked me (privately) if I thought her statements to Marcia on MSDN (I think?) were inappropriate. I concurred with the webmaster that it was not her place to criticize Marcia's (or for that matter) anyone's posts.

Good afternoon Canada,

Am I reading you correctly in that
(1) receiving a few inappropriate statements from X, combined with
(2) far outweighing the contributions of X

is a free ticket to writing bad-mouthing letters about X to his/her employer
