(41,203 posts)VC and I have posted together on and off on one of DU's most contentious forums for 7 years now. We've sometimes agreed and sometimes disagreed. Agree or disagree, I have always found her honest. If she has a problem with someone, or something they've said, she will tell them so openly - NOT run away or attempt to cover her tracks in any way.
Just as has occasionally happened with me, I think that on this occasion VC came up against the problem of being in a very different time-zone from most of DU. It was night-time in Australia when much of this was going on.
While I don't know SissyK as well as I do VC, I would say the same of her: she is honest and direct, and was also being manipulated by a champion game-player.
To be truthful, I think that the hosts, and many non-hosts, have been played like fiddles (including people who are not usually easily deceived or manipulated) and the 'violinist' here is the one who was recently TS'd.
