Eh, that didn't happen, at least, not in the way you try to paint it.
Phil posted a graphic story online. Someone from Wikipedia Review noticed it, and started a thread about it (Lir, IIRC, but it was quite some time ago, and I don't remember exactly). Someone else, who was probably a Wikipedia Review member (and, if I were to guess, Amorrow), called the police about it. There seemed to have been a pretty legitimate concern; regardless, the police thought it worth questioning.
Now, being questioned by police isn't a form of "harassment", nor is it incredibly likely to cause problems with one's employment situation, which is the specific point I was addressing.

As for those who are suffering other adverse effects, I hold that much of that is their own doing. It's unlikely that a user would face employment problems because of their Wikipedia involvement being "outed" unless they were a) posting libel (ie, Brian Chase) b) editing while on-the-clock, or c) had an active conflict of interest (ie, Katefan0).
Or (d) had been actively harassed by Wikipedia Review (e.g. Phil Sandifer).
- d.
