Nachoy's question reminds me of a real life situation where his exact question materialized. It was back in around 2009 or 2010 in New York City. I was a member of a very high end full service massage parlor located in Gramercy Park with another location in Hell's Kitchen. The MP had its own private message board. The owner posted on the message board a message intended for the wife or significant other of a member who had discovered her SO's activities on his computer due to his negligence in computer security. Tiger Woods type situation. From what the owner told me via PM at that time, it was a "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" situation. The enraged wife began calling the MP and excoriating the phone bookers, all young women, with all manner of insults. The harassment continued relentlessly for around a week and the phone girls (who were just college kids I think) were threatening to quit. So the message the owner posted was calm and rational and basically told the wife (who was reading the message board due to the security breach) that the MP was not responsible for her husband's behavior and that the behavior was the result of him not getting something he needed at home. I was very impressed with her message and told her so at that time. It was intelligent, well reasoned, forthright and likely 100% true.
The harassment stopped, eventually. I think it was maybe her anger ran out more than the message's impact, but the message likely helped.
