I'm with Beth on the Kathy Sierra flap.

Maybe sexual themes should be considered over the line, but chick bloggers will always be the recipients of such remarks, so I prefer to simply have a thick skin. I leave those accusations of ugly sluttiness (and slutty ugliness) up when they are aimed at me, because they speak for themselves about what kind of argument the commenter is capable of making.

Death threats and rape threats, however, are illegal. And they should be.

Be careful when you threaten people over the internet: you're never quite as anonymous as you think you are.

And if you want to be taken seriously, balance your passion with some . . . what were those things? Ah, yes: facts.

UPDATE: I agree with the thrust of Michelle's post, too: when we give in to bullies, we embolden them. I'm not too interested in that.
