Too many people seem to think they are the moral authority on what reprocussions are appropriate.
Not at all. Should you not be free to hire and fire your employees depending on who you want to represent your company? Or are you advocating some sort of affirmative action for asshats?
Stalin called. He wants his regime back.

Really easy? ...Really? Edit: Not only would this alter a core and fundamental aspect of how Twitter currently operates but it would certainly be non-trivial to implement in an unobtrusive manner. Who wants what blocked? Is there a generic 'spam/abuse' filter? Is it on by default? Are those tweets put into a spam/abuse section or entirely unviewable. What happens when someone sends a tweet that is blocked by the filt…
Federated twitter blocking where people can choose to outsource the blocking to people they trust would be pretty cool. Kind of like AdBlockPlus lists.

No, I didn't mention that link, which btw isn't from reddit but from someones blog. (I haven't made up my mind on that one but it seems he makes a leap yes.) I'm trying to point out that you are acting as if you have already made up you mind: whatever the facts, gg-ers are wrong. In this case it seems you are, among other things, denying that KiA is Subreddit-of-the-day. Which is very easy to prove. I suggest you rea…
I misread the original post. I apologise, you are correct about the second link. I stand by my comments on the first link, but I've been very silly in commenting about the second one. Sorry about that. Please though, stop making personal attacks.

Sorry. My apologies for that. Will stop.

Not wrong, because the case you linked does not conclude that what constitutes a threat (even in this legal sense) is what the recipient of the message believes.
It did conclude that it was a threat, and amongst the finer points of the case was that Elonis argued that the test should have been whether he intended the threats or not. The jury decided that a reasonable person would have perceived the accused comments were threatening. Even a reading of a cursory summary of this case would have told you this. Did you actually read the outcome?

Thank you for this link. I just found out about the Theta Xi Member who was doing this. I'm a member and I'll be seeking his full removal from the fraternity. It's not much but it is what I can do.
Good on you. What your member did was beyond vile. I have a young daughter, and I'm appalled there are people out there who would event think these things!
