Dear 1-800-Flowers, We, the readers of the Pharyngula Blog (written by Prof. PZ Myers), respectfully request that your consider reinstating Melanie Kroll. The use of her work email address to issue threats to Prof. Myers was grossly irresponsible and did indeed violate acceptable usage. However, we accept that this was likely to be an act of carelessness on her part, which was compounded by an act of idiocy by her husband, Chuck Kroll. We do not condone the violent and idiotic tones of the email composed by Chuck Kroll, and we hope both the Krolls have learned lessons from this episode. However, we do not wish to see the apparently innocent (albeit careless) Melanie lose her job over this incident. As such, we respectfully request that you take this into account and consider reinstating Mealine Kroll in some capacity. Kind regards, The Pharyngula Readership
