> What metaphor are you using that git clone requests are now suddenly death threats?

The headline and title are saying GitHub DDoSed a crucial open source site, so the metaphor is definitely valid. I did not compare DDoS to death threats, I compared the fact that it is being said that GitHub DDoSed the open source site and did a thought experiment to see what happens if something similar was said about the phone companies.
