Wow, this story is unbelievable. I mean literally unbelievable as in I am having time believing it. Seems like a lot of assumptions are being made about whether or not this story is true and that it is related to some fandom war.

Frankly, I am have a hard time buying it based solely on msscribe's word, especially after the whole "my friend/fangirl/babysitter was using my computer logging onto fake nutty Christian's account using passwords illegally obtained from court documents that my husband provided" thing. I don't know, maybe I should believe everything anyone says, because no one would ever say untrue things or misrepresent themselves over the internet. Ever.

How about some independent verification of this story? What is the name of the newspaper and the reporter? If true, this story seems very newsworthy, not to mention grounds for a million dollar lawsuit against her former employer. I imagine something with the headline of "Woman Fired for Writing Potterporn" would be reported on by newspapers and television stations across the country, heck even CNN or Fox News, provoking much outrage. I don't think even the Leaky Cauldron is going to run a story without some outside verfication though.

I don't know whether this story is true or not, but I am going to remain skeptical of the whole thing until proven otherwise.

	Eh, I dunno about the rest of it, but she didn't get fired from her job; she resigned so that her employer didn't get the smackdown over it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, the person who posted this wank needs to edit it then because they sure have it written that the person was FIRED.

You say the person resigned to prevent her boss from getting a smackdown. This is the point I am trying to make. How do you know this for certain? You only have this person's word and I am not blindly believing what someone says over the internet without some kind of proof or verification.

	I don't know, which is exactly what I said. I have no proof whatsoever either way. What I meant was, however, that if she resigned her job then that would be the reason there isn't a lawsuit. Other than that, who knows? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ah, I see what you are saying. I wasn't trying to get all snippy with you.:) You are right, who knows? I have my doubts though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oops, I forgot to add that a story stating that "Woman is forced to resign due to boss' fear of Potterporn scandal" is also very newsworthy, hard to believe, and very wanky. (Reply to this)(Parent)

hmmm. Yeah, that left me curious too. :/ There is no way to verify it and the original poster said fired.

But if you're not broadcasting where you work (IE posting your employer, their contact info, etc. in every e-mail you send), then people should lay off...

That said, my employeers generally knew what I was up to and I explained it to them in the best possible context, gave them urls, etc. Best to head off the beast and put your own spin on it before some one does it for you.

Exactly. I would also like to point out that the person posting the wank presents it as fact that msscribe's enemies sent the letters, if the letters even exist. There is no evidence showing who sent the letters, just speculation. If msscribe has proof who supposedly did this she needs to put up or shut up.

Funny how there is no animosity towards her boss, who if the story is true, is a limp dick SOB who is afraid of Potter Porn? The monstrous horror that is Potter Porn that will ruin your company if the secret gets out. This is so wanky.

	You know, I was actually thinking the same thing. "Wow, that's fucked up...if it's true." (Reply to this)(Parent)
