Good for you!

>Why not have those interested eMail AK and MA, and let them know your views on this subject? I am not sure of what the end result might be. You could be terminated from your employment as a gesture of your concern on this topic. If you are interested you could contact Microsoft and recommend NN as a MVP.

Don't you think they have been following the discussion here?

>Others have already begun to take action to protect themselves including you! :) Remove reference to your place of employment and where you live. Then you will have a better chance of protecting yourself and expressing your opinion.

>The entire topic is distasteful. It is like living in a den of cobras. You do not know from whom or when a strike might occur. This is a “community”? It is more than dysfunctional! Perhaps a new category of developer could be created indicating who hurt others the most for the year.
