Twitter was the worst for finding anti-Richards blog posts. I honestly think that censorship has much to do with that.<br /><br />I used Ice Rocket and found this post.<br /><br />I think you have to put the claims about death threats in the context of the absolutely insane defense of Adria Richards. And it was an absolutely insane response. Yeah a few people on the anti-Richards camp made some less than logical assumptions such as assuming she "eavesdropped" on them but those errors in thinking do not compare to the madness and irrationality of those who defended Ruchards. There were just tons of different but crazy argument.<br /><br />When you consider that craziness, the claim that Adria Richards was inundated with threats - an onslought, explosions of hateful threats, becomes highly suspect. I think you should be very skeptical. What source or evidence is there for that claim? So far I only know of two specific threats that have been identified and verified.<br /><br />Other claims about the Internet exploding with hate are easily debunked. Reddit was a culprit for example but you only need to go search the archives to see that that is untrue. Reddit took very little interest in the Adria Richards affair.
