All that is necessary for the triumph of evil... (death threats)

Just read Kathy Sierra's Death threats against bloggers are NOT "protected speech" post.  I feel sick, and sad, and angry that people like that have that kind of power.  They should not.  If cyberspace is going to be a real society, we can not permit this.  If this behavior were going on in a physical public street, the perpetrators would be ostracized and then arrested.  Sounds like the police is working on the latter; great.  In the meantime we should publicize and ostracize the behavior, and the people responsible for it, in all the ways that we can.

Kathy, you have my sympathy and support.
