> Not to minimize the issue, but receiving death threats is rapidly becoming part of being a public figure on the Internet.

Indeed, I've gotten quite a few death threats myself over the years for my radical cause of trying to improve the quality of video game emulators.

The problem with the internet is that you can't really judge a person's mental state from a text post. Quite often the person on the other end making the threats is literally mentally ill.

Wow really? I don't get why someone would be against a more accurate emulator, especially to the point of death threats.

I love your work by the way.

Get to be an exec at Nintendo or Sony and you might feel differently!

I was a LONGTIME Digger before that though had even occurred to me. The crazy folks who shout at you on the bus aren't exactly going to be eloquent when they sit down to type are they ;)
