(18,312 posts)this exchange between AC and other posters just seems so familiar. I guess it's a pattern many DU'ers have exhibited in the past.

As long as she comes out on top and you're at the bottom, she's gotten what she wants. She'll deflect the topic of discussion to whatever she wants it to be. If she doesn't like the topic of conversation, she'll make it about you, or how you're making it about her. She'll pretend that it's all about her just so you can spend 20 posts convincing her it was NEVER about her.

She'll pout and say that she's being bullied, harassed, or stalked. She'll get her posse of minions to attack the thread and call you a bully, and how unfair you're being, and how she's one of the most even-handed, unbiased posters DU has *EVER * seen (Look at anytime anyone criticizes her. The same group show up. They say the same things. It's not just coincidence)
