It was a group effort, remember we were trying to come up with a nickname that didn’t put her in the venerated “three initials” club (like RBG, MLK, etc.)?
I think @DukeTrout deserves credit for first spotting the “MT” “Empty” connection:

I wish I could claim credit, but it was another BBS gentle poster who came up with it. Alas, I cannot remember who, or I would give them their due.

Possibly me, but I think I may have borrowed it from it somewhere else too.

The solution is meet them head on and bring real consequences for their bullshit. Bullies don’t stop until they are too scared to act. Try to get these jokers arrested, sanctioned, brought into the open.

I like thinking of her and her hangers on as Empty Gee and the Gang-green. A vacuous, festering cover band.

Thinking more about the interviewee’s quote about how we all need to stand up to this kind of behavior, I was reminded of a bystander intervention training I went to a few years ago. A local chapter of Green Dot put it on:
If, like me, you don’t want to stand idly by if you see shit like this going down, but don’t really know what to do safely, they have good tips for de-escalation.
Our community training was free and at the library, so seems okay to share here.
