Check. Warnings are to be heeded.
I'm surprised that WebTV banned her for that. It usually take smuch more severe trolldom and/or being a spammer. Being banned for being vulgar? Not something I'd expect.

I suspect it is a little more than she is telling.

Sure there's more. She deliberately put herself at odds with long established posters, to the point she got compared with JCdK even. All she had to do was stop but instead she kept butting heads until she got tossed.
So what if she'd gotten the first or second warning and she contacted WebTV by phone. With her posting history it isn't hard to imagine what the discussion sounded like. After all she did claim that on-line personnas are identical to in-person personnas.
Consider how much of an irritating pain in the butt I am. I post through an account that could get pulled if enough complaints come in yet I've been using the same account since I think 2000. I try to contribute. I try to help solve problems. I try to puzzle out trends. Sure I fail, but it appears that my intent shows through those failures.
