      Everybody who is hated and popular gets death threats. Hell, even the nicest actors get death threats.

      They are easy to write and send, and there’s 0.01% of the population that is mentally unstable enough to actually do so. You and I don’t get death threats because we aren’t popular enough.

        Nah bugger that. Famous actors are known by a vast majority of people. It is not normal for open source programmers to receive abuse to the level of death threats. That only happens when you get the attention of kiwi farms types.
