Back to topic.  

Melanie Kroll was not responsible for writing the death threat and she was not fired for that. She was responsible for breaking  1800Flowers policy and for that she lost her job.  

Everyone seems to be assuming that Melanie, being a woman and all, is a nice person and innocent victim of a violent and abusive husband.  This may be the case but it's speculation.  It's just as likely that she fully agrees with her husband's sentiments and has been bothering other employees and customer.  That is also speculation

Quite why people think they should advise 1800flowers on a personnel matter is beyond me.  We know very little about Melanie Kroll and 1800flowers and this is (should be) a private matter.  

I have unfortunately had to fire people for repeated infractions of IT security policy, fortunately none resulted in the publicity that Melanie's negligence had for 1800flowers.  I know that I would not take kindly to strangers, who know little of the circumstances and history, giving me unsolicited advice.
