then attack them when they respond as viciously as they're attacked.  Go to

Well, since I am guilty as charged, I suppose I should say something. Jaime
has been here for years, and we've been through the "acting out" stuff
before... this is actually pretty mild. And I think we kind of understand
where it's coming from. And we also know it isn't permanent. It's a
temporary aberration probably resulting from a combination of hurt and anger
and impulsiveness.

I'd say it's more a function of forgiveness and understanding than
condoning. What she said was lousy, and what's more, I know she knows that,
even if she doesn't admit it here. She's part of our collective history,
often contributes useful or interesting information, and even a bit of
entertainment from time to time. I don't think she's even actually mean,
just easily hurt and angered and very impulsive at the keyboard.

That help?

She's in pain.  People in pain can behave regrettably.  That doesn't
excuse it, but it does make it forgivable.

I believe I'm not the only one here who actually cares about Jaime.  I
don't like it when she goes doolally.  Who does?

If somebody screws up, it doesn't mean they don't deserve a second
chance.  Or a third, or a fourth, or a hundredth.
