Well this is an unfortunate turn of events...

Put your safety first, of course, but maybe wait for this to blow over a bit and come back anonymously, taking care not to leave trails. Research how to stay anonymous online. The community does not require people to identify themselves unless they are claiming to be 'somebody' in meatspace — as a way to stop identity theft. Anonymity is fine on here, and many people do it quite well.

I think some people owe you, and @kushed, an apology.
