Y'know, having so many people pounce her at breakfast makes me believe that other people are sick of it too, and are speaking out against bullying behavior when they hear something.
In the past, when I've been sniped at, I've been by myself in the hall, or heaven help me, trapped in the bathroom with a loon. This woman complained in front of witnesses, and was put in her place. Maybe she learned something. (Although judging by history, the other people learned to get their target alone before spewing.)
I mentioned it because I do want others who've heard such nonsense that they aren't alone, but that also, such people are a minority, and the majority of us won't put up with it, even "clueless" geeks.
