When you were an editor and you were posting here, did people call you, emailed you, visited you at home to harass you? It would be interesting to hear from Annie too, if anybody harassed her at home even when she was defending DMOZ previously? I think you are right Ivan, Anonymously is not afraid of users, he is afraid of "ODP Community".
I didn't even get bribe offer during entire time I was editor... and I had Croatian gambling category under me and even public submissions were rare - nobody cared about me. She has husky pack so they are afraid of her - many people don't like doggies. With everything he/she has written removal to serve as sacrificial lamb is highly likely.
Only time I got what could be considered real threat is once I exposed identity of a local con artist who created huge websites by copy pasting national laws and other state documents and then misled people into believing that has something to do with state run loans and other stuff. One of his biggest scam was job application for translator and he sent different test to each of hundreds of people who applied in the end he got massive free translation and of course nobody got the job.
