Dan Fost, Tech Editor for the San Francisco Chronicle had a prominent front page/ top-of-the-page story on Kathy Sierra's incident in Thursday's paper. Kathy is an active and widely respected member of the blogging community. After receiving viscious death threats from a cyberstalker, she was forced to cancel a speaking engagement at the ETech Conference in San Diego because she feared for her life. The blogging community rallied behind Kathy and declared March 30, 2007 as Stop Cyberbullying Day, with hundreds of journalists and community bloggers covering this event as an opportunity to educate the public about the cruelties of cyberbullying.
