You have my sympathies OP. Maybe you should try a complaint with the blog/site and see if they can ban the IP. I apologize if this was suggested already.

My guess is that crazy lady = newmansome/Wlamar/helen/troll-of-the-week, or that person that made the OT thread about loud sex noises.

Completely believable.

I had a crazy colleague who posted trash talk on a forum in my name, mentioned the school, teachers, and the dean. She copied it, then deleted it. Then she presented the copy to the FAO. She and the (female) FAO had a non-traditional relationship which included weekend trips to neighboring cities.

I swear, it sounds like the crazy woman who is sticking it to you is the one who did the same thing to me. She would have been in China for about ten or so years by now. Her reason for doing this is to make others leave and (in her mind) make her indispensable to the school.

Is this woman a German with a British accent who is about fifty years old?

In my six years in China I have not worked with any Chinese teachers that have caused any problems for me.
However, I have worked with several foreigners that were a royal pain in the arse.
I do not know if the OP's situation is true or not, but it is not at all difficult for me to believe.

Posting the link on ESLcafe will increase the rank of the site in Google search as more and more of us visit the site and also because ESLcafe is a high traffic site (I am aware there are numerous other factors and it doesn't work exactly like that).

I do not recommend posting the link on ESLCAFE. The last thing the OP wants is for this to get even more attention, rank high in search engines and then end up being the first thing every future employer sees.

He came here for advice. This forum is supposed to be a place where people can come to ask questions from others who have already been through the same things. Over the years Dave's has been very valuable to me for that reason. However, there always seems to be someone who claims the OP is full of crap and must be lying. While I agree that probably happens sometimes, it usually makes for a good read nonetheless. So far there is nothing all that unbelievable about this.

At my last job the Canadian head teacher loved to create all kinds of drama and even accused two teachers of having sex in the restroom during their 4 minute break because, and I'll paraphrase, he heard feet shifting in one of the stalls and grunting. This almost resulted in those teachers being fired. He later claimed he liked to make stuff up just to: "keep everyone on their toes." He also claimed he liked to "stir up shit." (I only swore because I am quoting). There are sociopathic nuts out there. Sadly, some of these people end up with power over others. They ruin relationships and ruin people' experiences in Asia.

That's pretty awesome that they were able to do the deed in under 4 minutes in a toilet stall that has a squat toilet in it.

I have TWO totally psycho teachers at my school.

One of them absolutely hates China and the Chinese and spews negativity in every sentence. Not just to me but to anyone that will listen. trashes China, the school, people - you name it. The worst part is if you meet him in a pub or restaurant he speaks so loud about how much he hates China that other people can easily hear and they turn around and look at him and whoever is with him.

The other teacher has done everything in the world you can think of and knows everyone in the world and has 6 phd and masters degrees. He dominates every conversation and butts in when you are speaking to others. And he is a psychopath.

Sounds like you've done all you can, op. Personally I'd avoid contact with this woman without a neutral 3rd party present, or your phone recording the interaction. Stay the good guy in all this and keep us updated.
