What would make the most sense is if Sarah just switched to a new account. Her hope for remaining pseudonymous using User:SlimVirgin is quickly dwindling to nil, and the vain attempts to change this situation are doing nothing but cause problems for the project.
I don't see any good coming from giving into trolls and stalkers. The fact that a bunch of disgruntled, mostly banned ex-Wikipedians like to spin conspiracy theories, and occasionally disrupt Wikipedia, should simply be ignored. Not discussed on Wikipedia, not discussed here, just ignored.
The good is that Sarah can once again contribute pseudonymously, at least until she's outed again (which could take long or short depending on how carefully she edits this time around).
On the other hand, if you want to ignore it, then ignore it. Stop oversighting things, stop banning links to websites simply because they provide the information, stop deleting comments which in good faith ask questions about it, stop contributing to this thread. Ignoring it of course means giving in as well, because if you ignore it all the private details are going to come out. Various people at Wikipedia Review have already reconstructed pretty much all of the edits that were oversighted. Archive.org contains much of the rest. User:SlimVirgin is outed. That's the reality of the situation. You can call the people anything you want, but calling people names doesn't change reality.
