What happened? She got death threats because she said something about bloggers having the right to moderate/delete comments. From what I gather, somebody posted an anti-Sierra message and then a bunch of people (who didn't even know her) started harassing her. It makes no sense.

It's not clear what provoked such a vitriolic response to Sierra. She attributes it to comments she made a year ago in support of bloggers' rights to delete comments on their own blogs.
Reaction to Sierra's announcement was swift and polarizing, with many people remarking on the viciousness of the commentary, and others defending the original posts on meankids.org as non-threatening satire.
