Basically a blog post was written, http://www.horsepigcow.com/2007/02/04/more-on-higher-purpose... and there was a pretty big argument started in the comment section. Kathy compared some commenters as mean kids.

Chris Locke started a website called mean kids in response to this to attack people.

Kathy received death threats. She skips a conference, and the police get involved. Soon the media picks up on the story.
