Oh yes, Marie you are correct! She is that type of person, who goes through life putting everyone else down around her, to raise herself up. When she spoke of a former friend she knew in her 20s, she spoke very dismissively of the poor girl who struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, "She was just Jessica, the party girl, you know? Fun to be around at parties!" No regard for Jessica's struggle in her recount of this former friend.

I am definitely going to ignore her moving forward. The only concern I have is what the instructors are going to do about this situation, since i contacted them on Facebook about this woman's passive aggressive bullying of me last night.

So far, neither instructor responded to my message. That's a HUGE red flag for me. That non-response shows me that the two instructors either don't want to get involved in setting boundaries with this online class between students who have personality conflicts with each other, or they could care less, or worse, will suddenly confront me either at the start of the next class or will gaslight me and treat me like crap at the next class, if they choose not to contact me ahead of time with their game plan about handling student related conflict.

If you are going to teach a class to the public online (or in person), you should expect that adults may not get along with each other, and be willing and be prepared to diffuse those situations when they arise.

This woman certainly hasn't been a saint towards me in class, by any means. She's been dismissive, made back-handed compliments sometimes.

And, when I set boundaries with her last night on the Google chat call, she did not like this at all. How dare someone set boundaries with her?! The way she hung up on me when I set the boundary with her, and then sent her follow up passive aggressive Facebook message shows me: 1) she's mentally not a stable person 2) she's extremely immature 3) she's a bully and 4) she tried to manipulate me to feel guilty for her perceived slight.

I plan to ignore her for sure. The question is, how will the two instructors handle this situation as I have the next online class where she and the two instructors will be next week?
