I find them worse in this situation. They know that Alice rates their opinion and instead of doing the right thing and surrounding her with positivity only (anything but her divorce) they are probably further allienating the person she will ultimately need the most by egging her on.
They do this all the time. I remember a few years back a kind user who was kinda supportive of Ioan, but mainly of his too-soon-cancelled show Forever (like probably many, it's his best work besides Hornblower probably) being accused of attacking the Gruffudd family and allegedly threatening to physically harm these two admins because of Forever (that user insisted that it wasnt them who did this), obviously without any proof whatsoever. It's their modus operandi. If it would have happened once you could put this all down on missunderstandings and missing context and whatever, but it happens too often.A troll friend of hers (lets call her FM3) who has a blog just "outed" someone saying she is me.
AE was delighted of course. Doesn't matter that it's the wrong person. This is exactly the same as when she "outed" a Moderator on the old fansite (also called Alice) saying she was behind the Wiki edits. Clownworlddetective work.
I get that these people are into the resistor movement and those people hate it when anyone suggests that silence is better than going for the attack, but often it is (even if it's sometimes unfair if everything does turn out to be true, admittedly). Apparently wanting to get the whole picture from all sides is being an enabler and taking a critical stance on how somebody acts but wishing them well concern trolling. That's simply not how life works. It isn't black or white.
Look, I doubt anyone (maybe except of a minority) is certain here that Ioan is totally innocent or that he has done everything right. In fact I said in my first post that I always doubted his image (apparently unlike them!) and since he kept silent he made himself invulnerable to critical scrunity. But if (I mean that dude with the blog) you think that you are somebody that can break down every issue and analyze it (which in essence is a good thing, especially since he tackles very important matters like abuse and corruption), maybe you should consider other aspects too if somebody contradicts herself as much as she has done (whether you are excusing this with emotionality or not is up to you) and when she has not exactly the best history (again, whether you are excusing this by blaming others for it is again up to you) and if you have experienced divorces before (I love my parents a lot, but they really told two different stories when they were there because they just had this warped hyper-negative image of each other while they both thought that they are totally right, and this pretty much happens in any divorce). Otherwise I just can't take it serious.
