I share you anger to a considerable extent.
I would only caveat -- and I do so publicly, asking forgiveness of you
list-folks -- that any such actions should only be taken, as others
have said, with the EXPRESSED permission of the lady in question.
Otherwise, although Justice is our goal, we risk seeing the kind of
rumor-mongering, jumping to conclusions, and especially backlash
against this lady (and Stefan) that not only makes their lives more
difficult, but also makes the quest for a just remedy more
challenging.
Otherwise, I strongly encourage and ask for a more public note
regarding these issues, if she feels she is up to the intense scrutiny
this will generate and that the issue around the publication of this
missive remains unresolved.
