No Patti, the article didn't make her almost lose her job. The EMAILS/PMs she sent did. How can it have been the article? Her employer spoke in the article that she almost lost her job because of the emails, so her warning at work obviously came before the article.
what ever you believe about the emails and pms and the interpretation of them, the forum debate was the type of thing that happens ALL the time on forums . Many of us have been the subject of threats ( me for example as you know being reported to the police

for aiding you in an argument)
But I have seen nothing that justified the naming and implication of Jackie and Ngb in the press.
How would you have felt if it was you , in the same article about a death threat?
I still feel that old arguments are colouring opinion about what has happened.
Unless I have missed something I can not see the justification for publication of that article
