Dear Krystalline, I’m writing to give you an opportunity to defend yourself, and to explain your recent actions. Because, at this moment, you appear to to have diminishing credibility- this cannot be good for your career in journalism… First, please explain yourself, and why you decided to attack a complete stranger.
