If it counts for anything (doubtful, since that involves you trust me), I have known her via fandom for at least three years and she has not been given to creating false stories about herself.
Question: we've got Bonfire Night coming up in the UK, a night on which we burn effigies of public hate figures. Back in the 80s, Thatcher was very popular (as a hate figure). Should our internal security forces have investigated every report of someone burning her effigy, given that the action was a joke designed as a release of personal political tension but could be construed as wanting her dead? And, before bringing up the fact that American Presidents have been assassinated, so has a British Prime Minister (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Perceval). And people have taken shots at the Queen and the Pope.
