Tincrap swings (again) and misses (again)

Well, Tincrap is at it again. Another totally ineffective campaign on behalf of Lyme nuts everywhere. Her latest bit of pathetic Machiavellianism: repeatedly calling a newspaper trying to get McSweegan’s monthly infectious disease column shut down.
The problem with whispering dark tales to newspaper people is they want proof. Documentation. Evidence. Tincrap had time to make phone calls, but never any time to deliver evidence to support her spiteful denunciations. Editors talk to reporters, reporters talk to sources, and not everyone on LymeNut is a nut.
So now Tincrap and her ‘support group of one’ have even less credibility (assuming she/it once had some) with the Maryland press, not to mention the public health folks, and the legislature. It’s a small capital and a small town.
So to all the Smiths, Dicksons, Tincraps, and Blumenthals in Lymeland: Keep up the good work. Without your tireless efforts people might actually have begun to think chronic Lyme disease was an infectious threat warranting serious treatment and research. Now it’s almost in the same category as Big Foot and coffee enemas.

Apparently the name Lucy Barnes is a pseudonym.
Correct me if I am wrong however.
If it is a pseudonym then even the state of Maryland has been fooled. A Lucy Barnes was on the committee below before quitting.

Report of the Lyme Disease Subcommittee of the Maryland Vector-Borne Disease Interagency Task Force to the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
Recommendations for the Development of a Strategic Plan for Lyme Disease Prevention and Control in Maryland. March 2007
We would like to acknowledge the contributions of the following members of the Lyme Disease Subcommittee, who provided valuable input and expertise during the development of these recommendations: Lucy Barnes, Harford County Lyme Disease Support Group, Inc.
The Star Democrat, Easton MD
Lyme disease groups upset by new guidelines Infectious disease group says only `bulls-eye rash' good for clinical diagnosis
By STEVE NERY
October 31, 2006
In Maryland, four patient advocates resigned from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Lyme Disease Advisory Subcommittee in mid-October. Lucy Barnes, director of the Lyme Disease Education and Support Groups of Maryland, said she was initially hopeful about the role patient advocates might play on the subcommittee, which met three times beginning in October 2005.
"We went in there with big hopes that we could educate and make a difference for people with Lyme, but right from the beginning, it didn't look promising," Barnes said. "We're not quitting because we're mad," she added. "We're quitting because it's a brick wall in front of us." Barnes said she and other advocates hoped to get the state to support more "patient-friendly diagnostics."
The Star Democrat lists 17 hits for “Lucy Barnes” since 2004.
What is in doubt is the existence of her support group. The Harford Co. LD Support Group, Inc. is listed in the tax-exempt rolls in 2007
http://www.taxexemptworld.com/organization.asp?tn=331618
but the “officer, director, etc. to whose attention any correspondence should be directed” is someone named JEAN F GALBREATH.
The LDA lists Lucy Barnes as being in charge of a Maryland support group called “After the Bite.” http://www.LymeNet.org/SupportGroups/UnitedStates/Maryland/AfterTheBite.shtml
and the Lyme Disease Education and Support Groups of Maryland. http://www.LymeNet.org/SupportGroups/UnitedStates/Maryland/Education.shtml
but neither of these groups (both listed as being in Queenstown, MD) seems to meet.

Is BettyG the stupidest person in Lymeland? She’s certainly the most annoying as suggested by an aggravated LymeNet member (end of post). But she must also be a moron as her question below suggests.

where is gastonia? what country??
Gastonia?! Hey, isn’t it between Krugerstan and Zambuka? Somebody get this woman an atlas. I didn’t realize poster locales showed up on LymeNet and I certainly don’t care. But apparently nosy, but stupid, BettyG does. And it’s not just a slip of the mind. Here’s another:

what in the heck is UVA? suggest you add, UNIV. OF VIRGINIA, then we know who wrote this.....
please break up your post so we can read it; see my guidelines below on how to do and why i'm asking this ok. thanks so much
She’s never heard of UVA? I suppose mentioning UVM would convulse her.
So some hapless person come to LymeNet looking for information and what does he or she find instead? A self-appointed Nazi copy editor obsessed with how people type and who often refers to herself in the third person. Instead of information, posters get a lecture by some Iowa yahoo who apparently sleeps during the day and stays up through the night offering her opinions on, well, everything, and claims to have contracted Lyme disease from a Xmas tree 40 years ago.
Here’s BettyG’s response to the UVA (I mean the University of Virginia, which is in Virginia and not to be confused with West Virginia, which is actually kinda northwest of Virginia) poster:
Welcome; I'm so glad you found us!! You’ve come to the right place for education and support!
Betty’s suggested POSTING GUIDELINES .
many of us have neuro lyme where we can NOT read long solid block text and be able to comprehend and read it as is.
please edit your post by CLICKING PAPER/PENCIL ICON to right of your name. that opens up BOTH subject line and body text.
now please break up your WORDY SENTENCES into one sentence paragraphs. Then hit ENTER KEY “TWICE“ after each paragraph; we need that space for comprehension.
then go to left hand corner and mark box to receive ALL REPLIES, and click EDIT SEND
we thank you for helping us; otherwise, we will SOB, SCROLL ON BY, since we can't read to help you. If I see posts like this, I SOB them; to hard on me.

Well, since she often breaks up other people’s posts and writings, apparently she can read and comprehend long stretches of text. When she does reformat news articles and other things it’s not by making breaks in mid-word or mid-sentence. She’s clearly reading, following punctuation and inserting spaces in appropriate places.
She can read just fine.
What she’s actually doing is trying to exert some little bit of control in her own pathetic life by nagging and coercing other people. I’m guessing this ignorant, nagging, house-bound vampire has no control over anything but a few timid posters on LymeNet. It’s just an old-fashion power play carried out online.
If she really had trouble reading she could simply adjust her computer monitor and use the handicapped features on Windows (see Accessibility Options). But then she wouldn’t be able to complain and nag everyone else.
There’s nothing worse than watching the ignorant and the incompetent trying to coerce the rest of us.
