Okay, I've been working on the timeline and will go ahead and post what I have at the moment. It still needs A LOT of work, but hopefully will help move the discussion along if we can use it as a reference.
Fair warning: this is a very rough and very incomplete first draft. All I've done so far is go through MSM articles to pin down known facts, then Heather's Twitter. Finally held my nose and jumped into TM's Disboards postings this evening, but she initiated 92 posts and I'm only a few pages in on one of them. That woman just... really tries my patience.
Mods - please advise if I've used any sources I shouldn't. I'm trying to be careful!
