One of the things to consider (and I am not AYRT), and one reason why I do feel things like this should be called out, is that they are doing it on a dragon breeding/dressup site.

No one on site can help. Unless they are getting a ton of PMs from people, I also haven't see anyone on site actually being mean to them, and if they cannot stop themselves from visiting drama blogs, then TwinFish (who is supposed to be the go to person for them) *needs* to step in and stop them from going on said sites.

This can also make other people feel worse (people who aren't even involved in any of it) because they know they can't do anything and they see someone who seems to be struggling and a 'victim' of harassment, and they don't know about the repeated nature of this behavior. Especially younger people who might also be struggling with their own problems and don't have the resources/experience to deal with them.

So, I do feel that documenting the both the unkind statements and the 'everyone hates me' flip side is helpful because it gives evidence for people to use in order to explain *why* AC is their own worst enemy.
