Threats in Blogging: What Would You Do?

Jill at Writes Like She Talks has posted an interesting "assignment" today calling for creative resolutions of an issue involving threatening correspondence from a reader. Jill is a political blogger, so the analysis and questions include political terminology. If you don't usually read about politics, please don't let this deter you. There is a deeper question and future conversation in this post that applies to all bloggers: "What would be the consequences to all bloggers and discourse in the blogosphere if a threat of personal attacks did stop Recipient from blogging (the implication being that, just as giving in to people who kidnap and want a ransom of some type, once you give in to such demands, the demands will become more frequent and more bold)?".

Here is the link. Read it. And comment on her site if you have any creative resolutions (nonviolent resolutions, I might add).
