For the record, Kathy Sierra doesn’t deserve what has been done to her. Her fans don’t deserve it either.

For the record, the anonymity you can maintain online does not give you the right or unrestricted ability to send death threats. Despite your ability to maintain anonymity right now, the truth always comes out eventually. The web always finds out the truth.

For the record, making such a juvenile, playground-style move as threatening someone you perceive as weaker than yourself does not make you a bigger person. To the contrary, it reveals exactly how small you are.

For the record, a lot of people are angry about your childish cries for attention. And when you’re discovered, the community at large has all the power and tools it needs to ensure everyone in your life knows what you’ve done, now and forever. This will follow you. The web has given you your power, and it will take it away.

For the record, you are a coward.
