Speaking for myself, but as a mod, I thought the post was strongly worded, and perhaps disrupted the mailing list to illustrate a point, but mostly on target. I've twice been the victim of attempts at stalking that have moved between online and real life. It's terrifying.
I expressed sympathy for SlimVirgin herself and condemned the nutballs behind the "outing." I focused my displeasure on the response to discussion attempts on-wiki and explicitly pointed out in several posts that SlimVirgin didn't appear to be involved in that.
O.K. Explain exactly how *I* was involved in the "response to discussion attempts on-wiki". As far as I can tell, my total involvement consisted of overwriting one comment on SV's talk page. Apparently that one action was enough to generate both huge amounts of "drama", and to warrant my leaving Wikipedia permanently.
