Written Up

Amy was written up today for my actions on Twitter.I really wonder if this is legal...
Here are some inaccuracies in the document:
1. My previous twitter activity about Advance America was during the week of May 16, not June.

2. My tweet in May did not make a disparaging remark about the Center Manager of 807. It was a statement of opinion that Advance America promotes a hostile work environment. At the time I did not reference Julie Z. at all.

3. Amy never assured Advance America that I would not tweet again. In fact, Alan requested through Amy that I remove my tweet, which I did. It was also conveyed that it would be understandable if the tweet was reposted if the situation was not rectified in the future.

Questions:
Is it legal for Amy to be written up for my actions? She was not aware of at least some of the tweets until Advance America brought them to her attention.

How can my actions be in violation of the Advance America policy? I am not in their employ.

Legal Threats
Though not part of the document, Amy was also verbally threatened with legal action against me if I did not stop my online activities in regards to Advance America.

Twitter Account Disabled
At 3:30PM Amy called me while on her lunch break and asked me to take down the Twitter account: AdAmLongmont. I did so immediately though I did save the account information and 3 tweets on my cell phone.
