Kathy Sierra, author of the Creating Passion Users blog, posted today
that she's going to stop blogging, maybe for a while, maybe forever.
The reason is because some people have crossed the line from offering
immature criticism to making death threats and suggesting sexual
violence.

This is appalling behaviour, and cannot be condoned. Please, show
support on her blog, or publicise on your own blog, or simply be aware
of the dangers out there, and thin of ways to counter them...
