It's interesting to me that none of the "mainstream" (Mashable, TechCrunch, Wired) articles have discussed her public shaming of the two programmers, or how she dealt with the issue in general (i.e., not confronting them directly). In fact, most of these articles focus on the "rape and death threats" that Adria received which I'd like to think are the at the fringe of this discussion. They're nothing to take lightly, but I don't think it's fair to say they're representative of the tech community at large.
Public shaming is a method of cyber-bullying, and in this scenario, I think that label fits Adria's actions. While cyber-bullying is also a hot topic these days, it seems to be completely overlooked in this matter.
I'd hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but I can't help but think Adria got her friends in the media to write some fluff pieces.
