If the Kathy Sierra death threat meme was a legal case, would it be thrown out for lack of evidence?

Wired tries to do some investigative journalism into the whole Kathy Sierra OMG death threats meme, and doesn’t come up trumps.

If the whole thing was a legal case, would it be thrown out for lack of evidence?

It even appears that at least a good portion of the defendants in this case have now been either forgiven and/ or protected by the alleged victim. Yes, you read that right, the accused have now mended fences…which begs the question: if it was all so bad to begin with, why the silence, why hasn’t the accused been bought to justice (literally, given it was potentially said to be illegal behaviour)…and I’d note, the commenters, not the other victims, Rageboy et al.

I smell fish. Rotten fish in the state of Denmark 🙂

There’s one thing for certain, the words storm in a tea cup and Kathy Sierra will probably go down in history together for many years to come.
