She could have handled it discreetly and still written about it in anger without naming and shaming one man.

Or, if she really felt it important to name and shame, and it was because of this sort of thing happening frequently, she should have named and shamed ALL of the men who got her to this point.

Basically... I don't see how it's fair or just for one person to take the flak for himself AND everyone else, with his face and name all over it, whilst the others who played just as big a part in getting her to breaking point (hypothetically, we don't even know if that's the case) sit at home safe in anonymity.

Also, we don't know if this man has sent similar messages to others in the past and been told that it's nice to be complimented. He might have messaged Livia the week before, and have been hoping for similar success.
