Quick background on this: Jonathan Coulton is a songwriter and performer who is popular in the science fiction and fantasy community, particularly the section of it that goes to conventions. He does a lot of stuff that’s gaming- and geek-themed, and he’s one of the people who makes his living via using the (air quotes) ‘Internet’ pretty much exclusively. And if you’re wondering why any of that matters, let me put it this way: a nontrivial percentage of the people in your IT department can sing along to RE: Your Brains*.

And Mr. Coulton just told over a hundred thousand people that the Democrats threatened him.

First, let’s get this out of the way: it’s not a hoax. First off, Jonathan Coulton is neither a Republican nor a conservative. His privilege, and a potent argument against him participating in a hoax that might make the Democratic party of New York look bad. As to whether the letter came from the Democrats… it did. Lastly? Oh, yeah, this happens all the time.
