    Facebook: Got comments from by wife’s brother and his friends about God’s blessing and such being responsible for her pregnancy.

    “It’s 2013. We have a pretty solid handle on how a woman gets pregnant, and there’s no god in the explanation.”

    Of my fuck they exploded. “I’ll fucking kill you!” “Best not come back to this town!” So it goes.

    Is it common for people to get death threats?

    Or at least get enough that you can start ranking them by category?

    Maybe I’m just lucky.

    I made a PR/commit to to a foss android kernel for ‘tap to wake’ ported from fork to another model. I fully attributed where and who and complied with the GPL. The guy lost his shit and threatened my very existence, over around 20 lines of code.

    Nobody ever had strong enough feelings for me to either send me love letter or death threats

    I was working for an ISP and sent one of our customers a warning about harassing people via email. He switched to me instead. It escalated up the chain to my manager’s manager, who called the customer’s dad because he was 14. Dad got him under control, because the alternative was to lose his phone service for 12 months.

    A year later, the kid contacted me again to say I should give him a job, because I’m an incompetent fuck and users shouldn’t have to put up with me. Would you be surprised to learn we didn’t hire him?

    Every few years I stalk his blog to see what he’s been up to. There’s usually a couple more arrests to add to the tally, but like always they weren’t his fault, because someone provoked him!

    Telegram: Someone threatened to kill me and my family if I don’t transfer them my username. Some people are so sick.

    I was openly an atheist in highschool (early 2000s). Death threats weren’t sent, they were spoken to my face

    I’ve been on the internet since the 90’s, and a lot of that has included online gaming, so I just assume that I’ve received a few. But none that I remember.

      Christianity has a persecution fetish. I highly doubt that it was just for being one, unless you live in a Muslim country.
