When everybody has a voice, you'll hear garbage like that thrown at you. It's an effect of being connected to most all of humanity. But it is inextricably linked to freedom, which many generally consider worth the good to endure the bad.
And while threats are fairly clearly defined, "harassment" is very nebulous. One person views a non-directed statement as harassing, the other doesn't, the community around that exchange might take one side, society-wide may vote differently, countries have different norms & attitudes, etc. How can everybody share a censorship system where everybody's view of what constitutes harassment is slightly different? It'll never go far enough to cover many people's definition (which is your complaint against the current system), and go too far for others. Sorry, but I think that having the world's systems catered to one person's comprehensive subjective view of "bad" (whoever it is) really is too much to ask. We should stick to those things which are more cut and dry, which won't ever be comprehensive.
