Our friends Darl McBride and Rob Enderle got a lot of death threats as well. The big question is why. I certainly find this hoopla around "women in FOSS" annoying but to send death threats ? Gosh. That's overkill if I've ever seen one... Of course I've not ever sent death threats to Darl or Rob too, so may be I just have wrong mindset...

There is no cause so good that fools will not follow it. Subsitute `raving
misogynist maniacs' for `fools' and it's still true.

(well, mostly. I don't think I'll find many raving misogynist maniacs
running women's lib organizations, for instance. But still.)
