I have a close relative with brain damage and have spent plenty of time with her and other people with similar disabilities - they're not all nice people, they're not all bad people, they're just people.”

I am aware of this but Susan, to the best of my knowledge, hasn't done anything that could be regarded as nasty or spiteful.
The only personal attacks are that she has become big-headed. She can't win either way. When she was shocked to get through, people accused her of acting. If she hadn't look surprised then they would have said she was arrogant.
