I know everyone's temper is running a bit hot, so I'm asking a favor: would you be willing to limit it to just verifying that yes, she is a real person, and yes, she really does exist? I'm sure she'll be happy to respond to a civil tweet, but I hope the search will suffice. She is a good friend and chimed in because, well, that's what friends do.

EDIT: It would be really disappointing to hear that my offer of truth was taken advantage of.
