I'm retracting a lot of what I said because It looks like the author is 33 and should know better (it was late when I first posted and I wasn't up to research). I mean a 13 year-old should know better too, but likely aren't as subtle and don't tend to think about the consequences as much. Basically, she doesn't have the excuse of being young and stupid anymore. To a certain extent, she made her bed and now she has to lie in it.
You are well within your rights to say that it hurt you, offended you, and how (especially if the author isn't backing down). That being said, I don't think there should be any of the "you're a horrible person and deserve to die" type posts or any in that same vein. This is particularly true when it's posted around communities. I may have jumped the gun quite a bit because I've seen a lot dog-piling like that with art thieves. I do think that what I've seen is wrong and I apologize that I wrongly thought that was what was happening.
tl;dr: I think I got the situation wrong and it's okay to say why you're hurt, just not okay for a mob to wish the author a horrible death.
