Nancy: There is much more to this matter with Sue than I think you may
realize. It is not Sue versus another individual. In the short time I
have known Sue, she has managed to whip through at least eight people,
infuriating some to the point they are willing to expose her and,
inadvertently but innocently, damage our greater need to protect the
children.
Sue's most recent entangle involves the press (not just one member of
the press, but now two). If this were an isolated situation (as, at
first, I thought it was), then I would say, "okay, personality
conflict; it can happen to the best of us." But this matter with Sue
is far more than a mere occasional personality clash. Sue is a source
of information for those with whom she is willing to share (although I
find her annoying, at times). The first part is good. As to who Sue
is willing to share depends entirely on whether she views the person as
a threat to Sue's very deep emotional need to be "the Vortex." This is
my personal opinion based on conversations I have had with Sue.
For example, I have been personally and repeatedly ?instructed? by Sue
not to talk with certain persons. Naturally, after learning of no good
reason not to talk with many advocates, except that Sue is pissed at
them, my direct response to Sue has consistently been, ?I?ll talk with
whomever I damn well please?thank you anyway, dear.?
Overall, Sue is single-handedly capable of derailing our collective
efforts. My prediction is that she may very well succeed if she is not
collectively hauled in, especially now that we are on the verge of
making headway. These are my personal opinions based on my
experiences. I feel that Sue is no more stable than several others she
has chosen to viciously, wrongfully, and outrageously attack.
