Never met? Says who? Were you at the next table?

Actually, "tyrant" wasn't the word I really wanted to use.

Deserving nastiness? No, probably an overstatement. Deserving sympathy? Nope.

The program is showbiz. 99% of the drama is created in the editing room. But her place had terrible service, snotty staff, and - believe me - the tone was set at the top.

BTW her space is being converted into a practice/performance area for a struggling not-for-profit dance company. It's not the best time to be building yuppie condos in Seattle. Actually, not the best neighborhood, either. I just don't think she could afford the (cheap) rent.
