Reply #53: 2 Questions: (1) Who on DU attacked her? (2) What is "Qui Tam"

[Merlin]

I'm very sorry to hear this. It's a setback for everyone.

It's a sad fact that the great strengths of an unusually industrious person also often wind up being their own greatest weaknesses.

I've never seen anybody on DU attack Bev. She can be testy--as I learned when I first called her last spring. But we forgave each other, became civil, and developed a working relationship.

It's always seemed to me that she had an enormous personal cheering gallery here on DU. To hear complaints that people were trashing her is surprising, since I spend several hours a day here.

The other question is about "Qui Tam." What on earth is that all about? All I know is that I once spent six months on the "Hawk Hill" firebase about 5 miles from the town of "Tam Qui" in I-Corps, Vietnam. I'm sure they're not related, but what a coincidence.
