Kathy Sierra Names Chris Locke, Allen Herrel, Jeneane Sessum & Frank Paynter as Facilitators of Platforms for Sexual Harrasment and Death Threats

Though clearly devastated, Kathy Sierra is responding to personal attacks and death threats that led her to cancel a major speaking engagement by going public with the details.

In addition to an incredible show of support in the comments, folks like Seth Godin are doing Kathy the favor of linking to her post.

I'm just wondering how this will affect the careers of folks that Sierra names as creating an environment that enabled the attacks:
Chris Locke aka CuntBoy RageBoy
Allen Herrel
Jeneane Sessum
Frank Paynter

There will be many in the tech community who will laugh at this but many will not.  Let's make sure these people pay both personally and financially.

Note from Sierra's blog:
"In comments, Frank Paynter -- owner of the meankids.org site -- expressed that he was both ashamed and sorry for his participation in both sites. Kathy believes Frank when he says that he was not the one responsible for the specific posts and comments in question."

Until Frank exposes those responsible, he remains a facilitator.

Sidenote:
You know, if Kathy Sierra was a hip hop blogger, she would get no support from the majority of her readers.  That's why hip hop is its own worst enemy.
