Someone gossips about ME, and I'm supposed to drop out to stop them? Huh? What references do you have that suggest this will shut a gossip up?
Fighting tooth and nail to suppress the gossip certainly doesn't seem to have worked.
SlimVirgin can decide to do what she thinks is appropriate for herself; dropping out, ignoring the gossip, arguing with it, suing the gossipers for libel, etc. I'm quite willing to feel sympathetic to her plight if she's got nutballs on her case. What I object to is getting the rest of Wikipedia all tied up in knots over it as well. IMO it's making things worse for Wikipedia as a whole.
