Who does that and expects to get away with it? No, really?

There's also a reverse cautionary tale here - what you write on the internet can be found and posted elsewhere. I'm not excusing it, I hate victim blaming, but I think we all forget that sometimes. People think I'm weird for not giving my real name outside of flock - well, that's why.

As I said, that doesn't excuse it. The editor was absolutely in the wrong for doing that to someone.
