We had some of the crazy people track us down and call in bomb/death threats to our office building.

So many though we were in collusion with a specific forum moderator (out of a million forums) and got to incensed. And this was in the early 2000s that we think was a saner time.

A close friend of mine is a primary contributor to an extremely popular console emulator. He learned quickly to author under an alias which he keeps secret – even from most of our friend group.

It's bizarre that he has to keep this real love of his, which he's devoted hundreds and hundreds of hours to, so close to his chest.

But sadly The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory holds true today.
