Just read this bit about Kathy Sierra getting death threats on her blog.
That's pretty scary stuff.

Yes, aysiu.
Police investigations and everything.
The blogosphere and mailing lists have been discussing. Here is some of what I have read:

It's kind of a big deal. The BBC World Service had it on their call-in radio show the other day.

I will keep to the advice in the blog, I hate bullying and bullies of all description and tone. and it does offend me personally and I will state as much when ever I see such behaviour in any of the communities I'm a part of.
I hope everyone else will join me.
42 is not an anwser, it's an error code. the universe is saying 'Error 42: meaning to universe not found'

This link was provided by matt Good on Ubuntu-Women mailing list an hour ago.
When smart people get to talk, meet, in the middle of the battle field. All for the best, hopefully.
May Kathy find here my (little) support and understanding of her fears, and admiration for what she mannaged to do.

in my experience. both genders do it....it just that after bloody long time since the jungles we men still venture out on sorties and our lovley wives, sisters and daughters collect in packs.
my point is that the mysandery isnt as obvious as the mysogney becuase of this.
hope she gets some piece and quite... web gurus that have been in the game this long are invaluable, espically the community garnering type.
Fear is the mindkiller....
The little death that obliterates...
