I think it was a pretty gutsy move. She had to know that it was an SOP violation and there was a good chance the thread would be locked. On the other hand, it was the only way to publicly expose what was really going on regarding the abuse and stalking. The offenders were getting away with this crap only because everything was being dealt with (or not) behind the scenes.

I must have written a dozen drafts of a post in response to you the other night and ended up scrapping all of them. I wanted to discuss this particular issue in depth and some of the debate that went on at F&GH but no matter how carefully I worded it, there would have been a meta alert. I wish we could all discuss these matters more openly but at HoF especially I feel as if we're constantly being spied upon -- and I don't think that's just some weird paranoia on my part.
