As I already pointed out, if all we do in response to death threats is to give them what they want, we are reinforcing the idea that death threats will silence us when they want us silenced. We are saying that death threats effectively take away our freedom of expression. We are encouraging death threats whenever we say anything that they don't like.
While I have no desire to partake in such an event myself, I don't see "insisting on my rights to say anything I want" as "childish." I see it as standing up for the reality that everyone has the same freedom of expression. I see it as saying 'death threats won't give you what you are demanding.'
It's fighting fire with fire, not one side "putting gasoline on a fire."
If we don't do something (however,apparently childish) like, say"Muhammad sucks!") We encourage these neanderthals to continue threatening and killing. Muhammad sucks!"
