That's enough for me.   Anyone who consistently refuses any
rational discussion of his or her actions, disrupts the good
work we're doing here, and personally abuses those who are
doing it despite all efforts at compromise is simply more
trouble than he or she is worth.  Being "well-meaning" is no
excuse (and I'm sure of that anyway).  The /result/ of her
actions is no different from an ordinary vandal: more work
for those of us who actually want this project to succeed.

I have blocked both her IP and her user name.  If Jimbo thinks
I am too rash in this, he is of course welcome to unblock them.
It's his project, and I'll respect that.  But in my opinion the
project is simply better of without Lir, and I see no reason to
keep making excuses for reprehensible behavior.
