BBC has a second article(Call for blogging code of conduct)regarding what has happened to Kate Sierra

Its premise is that some how the blogosphere can form a rules of conduct to prevent this type of behavior.  While I feel what has happened to Kate is horrible, it is a stark reminder that in the shadow of our civility lies a boiling cesspool of hatred and bigotry.  We may want to to solve a horrendous problem like this with community rules but at best we could prevent some blog service sites from displaying hate, or our rss feed reader from retrieving hate.  In the end all we would have done is hide the fact that hate exists.  Its only a solution as sweeping dust under your rug is a cleaning solution.  I don't have any magic bullet solutions.  All I can offer is that we live in a free society and we have to except hate speech and actively speak out against it.  We need to adopt a no tolerance attitude.  If some one crosses the line call the authorities (ie police).    If you get physical treats on your blog its not protected speech take action.  Otherwise the problem will stay in a corner and fester until some thing tragic happens.
