If the evidence which Durova was provided was really as hopelessly weak as Giano makes out then there can only be two conclusions, either
(i) she was just playing some kind of game and knew !! hadn't done anything wrong at all, or
(ii) she is hysterical.
My vote is with hysterical. She's smart enough to make what she's doing seem rational. Unfortunately, it isn't her intellect causing her to create problems.
Durova needs attention badly, and 'she ain't gettin' it' (colloquial slang).
In other words, some deep wish to have attention she never had is eating her alive. She constantly talks about really horrible things, that aren't happening to her at all, maybe never did, or will. She actively pursues the problems, and then conflates them into more than they are. The mere fact that she spends so much time online indicates an impoverished personal life, not to mention the biting edge on her shoulder chip. Even Slimvirgin is probably married, and if not, gives the vibe of having some outside personal contacts and a quite real dramatic history. Durova tries her level best to present dramatic details of herself, even besides her dramatic attack ventures. It all seems rather sad, until you realize that she is causing a lot of real problems for people. What a pity she can't just admin, and grandstand, and hold the mustard, AND the weekly attacks on innocents.
