I don't think "regular employee" should be used anywhere close to this story lol. Imagine your passion project being building something for someone else and when that gets upset you resort to death theeats against your employer? Jesus.
Edit: Lol when this story first came out the consensus here was that death threats were not cool, now that it's an employee everyone is sympathetic? Alright, let's spin this story to fit our bias, why not!
Maybe it's different people with different opinions replying
That's ignoring voting though, which is a good way to get the average sentiment of a community regardless of who is doing the commenting. Is it more likely that the community's average opinion of death threats flipped overnight or that the new information changed the average opinion?
That's a fair point.
I'm okay so long as they just kill the execs.
