Fletcher Mattox said, in his email, that it was one, but not the only,
reason.  It is not unreasonable to assume that, being a very public and
very recent and (presumably) rather major aggravation, that Ms.
Y______'s complaining was the straw or fifteen that broke the camel's
back.

Although you never blame the placer of the final straw *completely*,
they bear significant responsibility, especially when their action was
intrinsically irresponsible, and hence, unecessary.
