I am sorry that this happened to you. I can imagine how traumatic that must have been. Have you considered talking to a lawyer to get damages and/or remove this incident from your records?
I do want to point out that tevlon was in Germany. That explains why the outcome was so different.
I talked to multiple attorneys. The jobs I am talking about involve security clearances and it does not seem like the true fact of the incident can be erased for such purposes.
I can petition to have certain legal consequences removed --
like my right to buy a firearm for hunting. This still would not erase the incident from the government database.
I can explain that it was a misunderstanding and show how I did not technically deserve what happened to me. However what I said was still very stupid and not something I ever want anyone else to read. It was my mistake for writing it but the consequence will follow me forever in this small way.
