Intellectually, yes, of course you're right, Poppy. I gather that the Grim Truth has gained some following, hard as that is to believe, and I understand that this grisly response is a sign that what I've been saying has an impact.
Still, it's one thing to accept that my writing runs the risk that the Death Eaters will take their frustration out on bystanders. It's rather another to know with certainty that putting quill to parchment signs a death warrant. I suppose it's no different than last year when Malfoy and his cronies wreaked havoc on the camps and assigned me the blame. Somehow this is worse.
Well. I'm sure I'll find something that outrages me enough to write despite the consequences, eventually. They have a way of provoking commentary.
As for Sally, don't fret. She's a half-blood herself, Italian mother, British father, very well-known in Rome for her stage act. She's young enough not to remember me from Hogwarts. And even if she did, she's no spy for Voldemort.
