Blum: Adria Richards, PyCon, and How We All Lost

Quite. This sort of self-organizing misogynist travelling death-and-rape threat-fest has been going for years (it's forced a number of women in the skeptical community out of the community entirely and into self-imposed internet silence, because every comment they make, on any subject, elicits hundreds of appalling threats from the same crowd). I wish there was a way to identify the people who do this and silently erase them from the space-time continuum, but unfortunately there is not.
