It's not a question of knowing whose fault it is.
You could even say that it's people who want to
blame the fault on someone that are the problem.

I merely say that if someone posts annoy a
large number of people, you have to consider
that there may be a reason.

In that case, shouldn't the poster consider
changing what is needed so that he/she won't
annoy so many people ?

If the person continue to post in the same
way, on purpose, to annoy people, then he/she
shouldn't complain about the result.

Once again, I ask the question : Did someone
said she did something wrong ? Is she being
used as a scapegoat by other people ?
Or did she made herself in a scapegoat, claiming
that other people said she make something wrong
when it wasn't the case ?

It's something pretty common on the forum : Some
people will say something rather moderate about
someone. Then another person will claim something
a little more strongly based on something he seems 
to remember. And so on. Finaly everybody is 
persuaded that there is a lot of people complaing 
for good reason on something. While it's just
a snowball based on unverified things taken as
facts by readers.

Do someone really accused Shawnna of something.
Or didn't she just over-reacted to a joke (perhaps
not a very good one) and persuaded herself
that people complained she made something wrong ?
Then you got a whole bunch of people jumping
in, either to accuse her of that supposedly
wrong things she made. Or to defend her again
those supposed accusations.

But did anybody checked what was that supposed
wrong things she was accused about by so many
people ? Or did everybody simply assumed that
because she said people accused her, that she
really made something wrong (or that she was
really unjustly accused) ?

I am again not taking side : I say that you
have to be carefull: you have to check
facts for yourself instead of assuming that
because someone wrote about something it must
be true and taken as fact.

Shawnna posted an awfull quantity of un-needed
messages. A few people pointed that to her
(or made a joke about it) and asked her to stop.
There wasn't any reason for things to go further.
Normaly, you should have expected Shawnna to
realize that yes, perhaps she over-did it a
little and slow-down on the messages. Nobody
would have been the worse for it. In fact, it
would have been better for everybody.

So explain to me why instead of stoping to
that it grow-up into such a mess involving
so many people ? In all logic it shouldn't
have but still it did ? Why ?
