Give her a break, she's only 14, and by the way I don't think she actually said she was pregnant, just that she has a lot of animals :-)

Some background history regarding ***JEN***
***JEN*** (alias “Jen”, “Jen!” and “Fruity Bug”) first made her appearance on this board last February (as far as I can tell). People here were polite and accepting of her when she arrived,
despite the fact that she rarely (if at all) interacts with anyone here or even contributes anything at all meaningful to this board.
In April ***JEN*** posted her “Awsome Name Game!!!”
http://www.behindthename.com/messages/6547.html As you can see, a lot of people responded to ***JEN*** in that posting. ***JEN*** then blew them all off, and that’s when folks here started to realize that dealing with ***JEN*** was a waste of time.
In May ***JEN*** got upset with everyone on this board for not having much interest anymore in responding to her postings – which are frequently mindless and self-indulgent. To further illustrate ***JEN***’s cluelessness, ***JEN*** accused our webmaster, Mike C., of having been “mean” to her, when Mike quite rightly posted the following message to her following one of her tantrums (in which ***JEN*** had called everyone on this board “suckers”): “Jen, you're
welcome to post here but you can't expect many people who frequent this board will be interested in commenting on your favorite baby names. You also have no right to expect nice responses from everyone.”
That was not, by any standard of mean-measurement, a “mean” response to ***JEN*** . I have yet to see Mike C. ever speak meanly to *anyone* on this board. But ***JEN***, nevertheless, petulantly called Mike C. “mean”.
I happen to know quite a number of 14-year-olds (junior high school students), and their own level of maturity and brightness just blows ***JEN*** right outta the water. I have no problems at all with
including these bright young people in adult conversation. But as for the bratty, attention-demanding types... Well, I have no patience for them at all.
So, before anyone here judges the people on this board for being “mean” to ***JEN***, or not giving her "a break", just
consider that there may have been a lot going on months beforehand, before you came in on the whole deal.
