When Twitter Trolls Threaten
Not too long ago I contacted Twitter in regard to what I felt was an overt threat. “We know where to find you, and we are armed,” the tweet read. Twitter decided this was no cause for concern. What say you, friends?

Leslie, did you call your local police department to report the threat? ALSO, if the user had their location posted as some do, I would also contact the authorities in that city. In addition, I would make an FCC complaint to your internet provider. And I have noticed that neither twitter nor facebook is taking appropriate action towards these cowardly terrorists hiding at home behind their phone or desktop.

Good suggestions.

I agree with this advice. Regardless of whether the person is a gun toting maniac looking for prey or some bored 8 year old having her jollies, it should be taken as a serious threat by Twitter. I would absolutely report it to the police.
I do hope the harassment ends soon. Who needs that?

They should have taken it seriously. No one should be allowed to speak online that way.

Personally I don’t believe we can be too vigilant these days. Shame on Twitter! Do not let the jerks alter your course. Meanwhile, Linda Rasmussen’s suggestions make good sense.

Yikes. I’ve begun to sour on Twitter for so many reasons (repetition and redundancy at the top of my list), but if they’re not going to take threats seriously then I might just stick to being an occasional voyeur on it only.
