I think this only holds true if you assume the “plotters” were serious about their intentions.

Otherwise they were just silly people venting on internet forums. That certainly seems like a fairly standard form of overreaction.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending this behaviour. I’m just more interested in if there’s something that SV firms are doing that’s exacerbating it.

The problem with the broadcasting intentions on the internet is that even if you're not serious about your intentions, you could influence other people. Look at the guy who went into Comet Pizza with a gun, for example.
