A woman whose work computer was used to email a death threat to University of Minnesota - Morris professor P.Z. Myers has been fired.

Melanie Kroll says someone else -- likely her husband, Charles -- must have used her computer to send a note of anger over the atheist biology professor's belief that a Catholic communion host is just "a cracker" and his plans to treat any wafers he receives "with profound disrespect and heinous cracker abuse." The email read, in part: "You have two choices my fucked up friend, first you can quit your job for the good of the children. Or you can get your brains beat in."

Myers' stated policy is to publish all identifying information from mailed-in death threats; he did, and readers tracked down Kroll's ID. The less-than-flowery missive came from Kroll's work computer -- at 1800Flowers.com.

[Update: Charles Kroll confesses to emailing the threat to Myers.]
