Which, don't get me wrong, she most certainly will be. I've studied art history and theory on comics at the collegiate level, seen the state of affairs in this admittedly niche area of study. She doesn't come close to qualifying, even for a nascent field of inquiry. It is truly sad that self-aggrandizing parodies of critique such as this currently fill the void for online analysis. At some point, however, just as comics in their hardcopy form are becoming intensely studied by art historians, literary scholars, and so forth, so too will their online incarnations reach the interest of actual academics, and at that point, mercifully, this sort of pedantic crap will be thrown out with the rest of the trash, ignored and forgotten, save by those meta-scholars interested with abortive attempts to found a genre of commentary.
In short, save for the amusement one can glean from her lunatic behavior, I'd just ignore the woman. Sooner or later, and god willing, sooner, she'll fade from memory forever, leaving space for those of us interested in actual discourse to communicate on the public stage.
