Actually, from a corporate standpoint it does make sense to alienate Sheena from the project... it doesn't make it any less of a dick move, but keeping her from later making more claim to the project as she herself worked on it(especially if they had no real guidelines for what exactly her job title/contributions were to be) it also kept her unable to do what Shane is doing with his letter. This certainly is at best a PR disaster RT certainly wanted to avoid.
