        @iMartyn @BoingBoing sexist bs not trolling.. Trolling is dropping in on a thread and adding a polar opposite opinion to elicit a response.

        @Clarrisani @BoingBoing @wilw They are the worst kind of trolling because they not only seek to invalidate the op, they aim to cause fear.

        @Rapunzal @BoingBoing No, they are rape and death threats. That isn't trolling. Calling it trolling minimises the seriousness of it. @wilw

        @Rapunzal They should be the same category as all other rape and death threats, be they verbal or via mail. @kdwald @BoingBoing @wilw
