I hope the authorities are able to find the person who sent her the letter and prosecute the person to the fullest extent of the law.

I'm not blaming Bravenak, but this can be a teaching moment for people to remember that they need to be very careful how much information they put out on the internet about themselves. There are lots of people out there on the internet who are dangerous and it may not take much to set one of them off. I had stuff on my DU profile and removed most of it. Even my Facebook profile is very tightly controlled making it near impossible to find me.

Those who are fairly active in the BS Group have condoned it. Remember it is very easy for someone to sign up with an account here (or almost anywhere) and pretend to be someone. That is why I have volunteered to help on MIRT.
