I'm not sure I've actually seen her react reasonably to another person disagreeing with her at all, and it seems her reactions are just becoming more extreme and harder-edged as time goes on. The whole "Queen bitch" thing seemed to slowly take over her personality to the point where her reaction to criticism or differences in opinion, or even misunderstandings (or lack thereof, in this thread) seems to just be all out war.

Frankly, I consider the whole thing unendingly, astoundingly tiresome.
