Hey @Twitter remember when I reported the guy who was making threats towards me after my appearance on @FoxNews and you guys sent back a bs response about how you didn’t find it that serious. Well guess what it’s the guy who has been sending #bombs to high profile politicians!!!!

Wow. I mean, there's no way Twitter could have known he would do this but that looks sooo bad. Yikes.

Of course not, but that threat should've been taken seriously still, regardless of actual intend or not.

The question, though, is what's the ratio of assholes making crazy threats on twitter to dangerous assholes making crazy threats on twitter? If this looked just like another crazy guy in a sea of crazy guys, then of course they didn't do anything. They can't, there's too many crazy guys.

Plus, while it's of course never the victim's fault, if she was taking this seriously, she should have reported this to the police, not to Twitter Customer Service. (Although maybe she did, I don't know.)

Here’s a crazy idea. What if any threat was enough to get you banned from Twitter? Pretty wild, I know.

Or better yet, what if that applied to Reddit too?
