Link: Kathy Sierra Receives Death Threats
Posted by kev Mon, 26 Mar 2007 23:24:00 GMT
Death threats against bloggers are NOT “protected speech” (why I cancelled my ETech presentations)
I have cancelled all speaking engagements.
I am afraid to leave my yard.
I will never feel the same. I will never be the same.
– Kathy Sierra
So entirely not cool.


There was no threat made to Kathy. The entire thing is a misunderstanding or an intentional hoax which stems from my criticism of her books. I am the “Joey” she is referring to and I ask that you read my reply at her site; assuming she doesn’t delete it.
Joey: I’m leaving your comment up because I believe everyone has a right to defend themselves, but I don’t buy the arguments you make in the comments of the main article. Sorry. The full “threatening” comments, in context, still seem threatening. I do understand this isn’t all focused at you.
