I spoke with the person who wrote the note featured yesterday, and I want to issue her a public apology for the lambasting. While I still feel the same way about anonymous notes, the public shaming, even if it was anonymous as the note, was a very painful thing for her to experience, and that emotional pain was far out of proportion to the “offense” of writing the well-intentioned note. She’s a long-standing and positive, contributing member of the community and it pains me that I caused her pain and embarrassment.
I’m sorry.…
