Advice to those who publish documentation of controversial and/or incriminating nature (to the best of my abilities):
Original post here. Edited here since it is easier to add information and correct mistakes—and technically doesn't really have a strict word count limit.
Don't put everything in one basket. What I mean by this is that you should know the rules and guidelines of any document host (e.g Google Docs). Expect a number of those who disagree to your side of the story to take action against your document(s), especially spam-reporting. Consider other means of preserving documents while you're at it.
Have a hard drive backup to make re-uploading easier. Download your documents if you can as any document format of your choice, and store it somewhere you can access––your computer, your external hard drive, wherever you can secure them.
If you can, also write your documentation it on word-processing document programs, rather than just doing it in online editors (e.g Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer).
If an ongoing legal process with the situation you are in takes place (e.g legal disputes, criminal court procedures), hold off releasing anything beyond what you're allowed to, until it's done. It is paramount to reduce the risk of an opponent's retaliation against you during it.
Be level-headed to the extent that you can handle. Confronting people for poor conduct of behavior, let alone any criminal offense tests EVERYONE, from you, the author of any confrontational document, to your readers. If it gets overwhelming, take a break.
Have people you trust help with anything you need for your documentation. Writing confrontational documents can be taxing to your emotional and mental health. If in doubt, get help with editing.
