While technically she doesn't report directly to me, the Dev Manager is the completely hands off type (which I prefer) and so it likely does fall on me to organise a quiet face to face. Thankfully, as she's not a direct report, it can't possibly be taken as a disciplinary either.
There's also things going on in the background that I won't detail (HR/medical issues), so I've been a little reluctant to take the bull by the horns on this issue.
However, my post was written while I was on vacation (lots of time for reflection on the beach...). I've come back & so far taken the "God Complex" approach of "you're a junior, I'm a senior, I have spoken & this is my reasons. Do as instructed."
I've only done that where I felt things were descending into a debate too much, and so far, HR haven't flagged anything in my direction. Hopefully once a trend sets in, I'll be able to back off a bit.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Thanks for the reply, Tom.
