PacLove,
I would definitely discourage "nuclear" exposure, i.e. telling the whole world, who may or may not care. Like you, I did it to our closest friends for moral support, and only friends that were close to WW. That had the most effect as they immediately leaned on her. She knows what she did was wrong (contacting OM for 9 years at least!) but she was too ashamed to face them.

Before all of this happened, when I confronted her on D-Day, she told me she was going to leave no matter what. She said she wanted to be "friends" but nothing I said was going to change her mind. She said I could drag her name "through mud" and it won't change anything... I reasoned and begged for three weeks but nothing was getting through, so finally I did the Exposure... It pushed the EA underground for a month but then she ended up plotting the D secretly.
