eta: Finished reading it. Yes, people are assholes on the internet (not on this site, of course). And while I found her bit about the elevator to be a little silly, mostly it was blown out of proportion by people who read it and reposted it. And the notion that anyone's response to that would be a rape threat ..... just one of those things that makes you ask "what the fuck is wrong with people?"
I don't understand why she ties any of this to Dawkins. His post, though snarky and sarcastic (what a surprise), shouldn't have been the cause or seen as supportive of any of those threats. It was basically a "geez, first-world problems" comment writ large (and writ obnoxious, but again -- what a surprise).
Anyway -- it was a more interesting read than the shit I'm supposed to be reading, at least.
