The elephant in the room is the poor choice of domain name. A lot of people are getting the wrong idea about the purpose of his software.

The elephant in the room is the poor choice of domain name. A lot of people are getting the wrong idea about the purpose of his software.
This is some victim blaming here. The domain is not the website of curl, but the personal blog of curls main developer. Not the same thing.
It's the domain of the contact email for curl. I think that is exactly what this person latched on to, given it was the first screenshot this person sent. Of course, Daniel is not to blame for people's uninformed reactions. But, one might point to this as a potential reason to avoid drawing the attention of the misinformed.
I think the elephant in the room is putting a personal email there in the first place. Honestly, you shouldn't act surprised you've received a threat, when you already know people constantly misunderstand that thing. In fact, it is quite literally like writing your phone number on a concrete block next to some dumpster in LA where all sorts of junkies constantly gather together, and then taking a personal offense when you receive a call from somebody who thinks this is Satan's phone number and he is the one who has been chosen to defeat you.
But, yeah, the domain itself obviously doesn't help the matter.
