Blogging Might Be Dangerous Nowadays

Wesley Fryer posts about  the cyberbulling and death threats to Kathy Sierra. Every blogger deserves respect and needs to be protected for Free Speech. What is happening is really scary and again honest, descent and professional bloggers should write about this issue.

Fryer writes: "What a sad thing it is to see digital tools used to incite fear and bludgeon the psyche of any human being. When that person is someone we know, even if our “knowing” is at an intellectual level due to the virtual window blogs provide into the mind and thinking of that person, our feeling of sadness can be even even more acute."

Scoble also posts about the topic and says: "It’s this culture of attacking women that has especially got to stop. I really don’t care if you attack me. I take those attacks in stride. But, whenever I post a video of a female technologist there invariably are snide remarks about body parts and other things that simply wouldn’t happen if the interviewee were a man."

What do you have to say?
