Very sad to hear this.
A most singular character. Blindingly intelligent, who displayed great integrity in argument, while refreshingly abrasive with no patience for fools.
Can still remember her arguing with mims and pikey over copyright issues on the poetry thread –
“ as if Sir Walter Raleigh’s gonna sue me ffs!! .. . . “
:D
Controlled her new site like some dictator of a Bolshoi ballet in her head , which is why I was the first to leave despite many interesting late night chats with her. We discussed this in PM here, and she offered luck with ” look after yourself and watch out for stray Houyhnhnms on your travels T… “
which was typically apt, funny, and prescient of the woman. Afterwards we fell out over an attack on a friend, yet she would have beaten me to the first apology by a long chalk.
A true original who took her leave of these chat places long ago, but has finally exited, stage left, where scented candles flicker to remind the audience of departed and very interesting lives.
Rest in peace Pam
