Yep, it's a little weird. But I checked - she isn't the same person as Ella. lol. You had to wonder because she reacted kinda as if you'd spoken that way to her - it was the tone, not the topic, that set her off. People generally don't put down each other's character on the internet, unless they have no good point and are just emotionally reacting in a way they don't want to understand. So you don't have to defend yourself. You called her "boring lady" and said she sounded "dull witted," so you did escalate.

I think maybe she was just sort of bothered by how sharp you were? like, maybe she's supersensitive and has a defensive reaction to any trenchant verbal criticism, even though it wasn't criticism of her maybe she identifies a little with the person being razzed and vaguely felt like she should stand up. I'm going to hope that that's it, and that she learns not to bother reacting to stuff.

I thought your response to Ella was funny. Haven't seen the ol' "would you trust a [insert profession here] with that name" argument around here in a while.
