I'm always suspicious when I see a female nym here at all, since there
are so few females in the technical world so there is a good probability
that it's a guy doing an impersonation.  That said, we've had a couple

I still think that there is something wrong with him, I mean some kind
of mental disorder which causes him to go through these wierd
personality shifts, attempt impersonations of people, and be very
abusive, to boot.
