I'm going to be pedantic and fall back on Maslow again - sounds like she had a need for power and was pursuing that need destructively. They only other explanation I can think of for similar events in my life is mental illness of some sort or other - you know, the kind involving voices.

But you raise another interesting question - who do you tell about what? If you have reason to think someone else is a shit, do you keep it to yourself and watch people get hurt, or do you risk being labelled a prick yourself opening your mouth? Everyone else - don't read too much into the timeliness of this question. I've asked it of myself many times over many many years.
