Adria Richards is not nearly the "victim" that she made herself out to be. She launched a public attack on the two individuals instead of speaking with the PyCon organizers directly. While death threats and rape jokes are never ok, the way this article makes her look like a martyr is ridiculous. Two individuals were speaking among themselves, Adria stepped in making a private conversation (albeit in a public setting) into a public sideshow. Just because someone "may" be offended by anything that is ever said by anyone, should we stop speaking in public at all times. Or if ignoring the above advice, live in fear of the consequences that you plucked a nerve on someone else?
