I am thinking this discussion has reached a logical end and the thread should be closed or binned or both.
It seems to me a very decent, capable, and professional person with a great number of abilities has been beat up by a former employer, the media, and far too many of her fellows in the Industry.....and done so in a very foul manner.
I wonder if some who have posted here stick pins into dolls when they think of more capable persons than they.
