No, here we have Pollyanna Sunshine, always posting irrelevant but cheery aphorisms that go against my advice but make her appear wonderful and caring. If I post a time-sensitive event or a new foal, she'll "top" me with some likely manufactured crisis/news and a bunch of photos of TWIN new foals or a particularly scruffy looking rescue, along with a plea for attention----and a little plug about how wonderful I am, when I have nothing to do with her. I think she (a) scours the Internet looking for these things, and (b) wants people to think we're close. You know? A diabolical attention seeker, with mental health issues. Iota, I assure you you would "Ka-POW" her. I WISH she used words I could ad to my profanity block list.

That's a tricky one eh? So ignoring her is damaging because it attracts approval form others....so let me ask this: does the approval from others also go against you? If it does you have to steer the conversation differently. If not, then you're gaining more positive and can probably leave well enough alone. That said though, this is YOUR page, you get to call the shots. Here's an off the wall idea, does she tend to use certain trigger words that you can add to your profanity block list? That would shut her down. Iota believes it in the saying "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.". So we think your instincts to not block her but to manage her input are sound. Is there a way you can comment on her posts without sounding defensive (not that you are) but can serve to draw her out more into the open? Wow. That’s a tricky one eh?

I have a perhaps unusual Fan Page problem. A Fan whose frequent comments are seemingly bright and cheerful, but are actually digs. She'd asked to be a client, but was such a stone cold nightmare, I had to drop her. I was losing money due to her childish, outrageous demands (and nonpayment). I have so far ignored her comments on my Page, but she has a way of attracting others' approval. A passive aggressive genius crackpot. I'm ready to block, but know this person would wage a brilliant passive aggressive campaign elsewhere. WWID? What Would Iota Do? Great advice, Marti! I have a perhaps unusual Fan Page problem.
