Katherine Chi | University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Botany | Suburban Express ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the Suburban Express Response Page ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suburban Express defends itself against KATHERINE CHI (aka Tseylin?) A Girl on a Mission AlmosGrad100 on Reddit AlmostGrad on Wikipedia (for link between Reddit and Wikipedia, view AlmostGrad's Wikipedia user page) The First We Heard of Her We looked her up and found that she rode twice. Nothing eventful happened on either trip, as far as we could tell. We received no complaints. We noticed that on the trip where she had a female driver she had to board the second bus in a line of buses traveling together. The female driver had driven our trips many, many times by the time Katherine rode. Katherine had some specific complaints: - Suburban Express overesells buses. This is false. She may have misunderstood load being split between multiple buses. At some point, the first bus loading will fill, and people must board the second bus. That doesn't mean we've sold more tickets than there are seats. It just means that we have more passengers than fit on one bus. - Her driver asked for directions to the highway. This is surely a fabrication. The driver of her bus would have had no cause to ask for directions out of Champaign-Urbana since she had done the very same run many, many times. And then she made some nonsensical claims which aren't worth addressing. We have no idea what set Katherine off, but her review has little correlation with reality. Full-Blown Obsession on Reddit (6.2 mb!) Speaking as AlmostGrad100 on Reddit, she seems to provide evidence that she has a full-blown obsession with Suburban Express. And it sort of looks as if she may be hooked on Reddit as a means of obtaining external validation. She seems to specialize in making unsubstantiated claims about every topic she discusses. Full-Blown Obsession on Wikipedia (120kb) Speaking as AlmostGrad on Wikipedia, Katherine has tirelessly worked to inject her skewed view into articles on Suburban Express and Streisand Effect. The other "editors" on Wikipedia slapped down her ridiculous edits to the Streisand Effect article, but she and paid editor who works in PR seem to have devoted an enormous amount of time to injecting inaccurate information into the Wikipedia article about Suburban Express while simultaneously deleting neutral historical information. Again, we wonder what has sparked her apparent obsession. Growing up in the Desert This seems to be Katherine's childhood home. What happened here? When people ask about the counseling center at the University of Illinois or mental health issues, Katherine's alter-ego online seems to answer quickly. Katherine Chi Website Here's her personal website. We wish she'd focus on finishing her dissertation instead of spending all her time trashing us online.
