Yesterday I woke up, checked my email, and found this waiting for me in my inbox.
Author/Speaker/Blogger Kathy Sierra has been the target of a cyberstalking attack so disgusting and vicious that she has canceled speaking engagements and is afraid to leave her house. That is wrong and whoever made her feel that way should be ashamed of themselves. (BBC coverage here.)
Unfortunately in this day and age, these types of attacks are all too common. I think everyone that puts themselves out there in the blogosphere has horror stories to tell, myself included.
Lisa Stone, President of BlogHer writes this excellent response about everything that has happened and about cyberstalking, bullying, trolling.
Bottom line: everyone deserves to be safe online as well as off. No exceptions.
Kathy: I support you and hope you "don't let the terroists win," as it were.
