No one has the "right" to threaten someone's safety. That right simply doesn't exist. No form of free speech rules grant such "right".
That's why it's in quotes.
How the hell is gamergate about the "right" to threaten? No one who isn't a troll will argue that anyone has that right. What do games have to do with the right to threaten?
Again, that's why it's in quotes. Everyone agrees with you. Here, have an upvote.
No This is about maintaining the productivity and integrity of projects against regressive groups that feel the need to force ridiculous code's of conduct on communities in order to pander to a group of people trying to politicize open source projects and use them to further their own "harassment" fueled agendas.
