I wasn't going to bother posting on this because Everybody Knows, but then I remembered I thought Everyone Knew about William Sanders, too, and some people didn't, including close friends of mine. So:
Laura Hale/Michaela Ecks/partly_bouncy/purplepopple is a liar, a terrible researcher, a disgrace to the name "historian", a generally disruptive and abusive presence in fandom, and a person who has repeatedly outed fans (linking their real-life names to their fannish identities against their will) who has been abusing the good will and resources of fans for commercial purposes, who has deliberately seeded her wiki on fandom history with bad information, and who has deliberately attacked, smeared, and abused other fans in order to gain herself page hits.
Ban her from your personal journals and communities. Do not support her projects with your time, effort, or money. Avoid visiting her projects unless you need to verify reports of her behavior, and if you do, please use the "nofollow" directions outlined here.

* I know of at least one other case, and in general it's been kept quiet because raising a fuss about X getting outed only outs them more. But this isn't a one-time thing. It's a pattern.
