So let me ask you would you be OK with be ok with someone close to you being subjected to a constant bullying/harassment campaign as long as they don't "really hurt" them? Second question: even if the statistics are that only 1 in whatever people actually is dangerous. If you get 100s of hate messages a day, how do you know that one of them isn't a physical threat. Because that is the intent create fear, torture can be pretty effective just through threats of violence.

Making a physical threat crosses a line, and those people need to be dealt with. As for dealing with the trolls making gas chamber jokes, I'd just stop reading Twitter. Or the Facebook/YouTube comments. Frankly, I don't think reading the yammerings of the unwashed masses on unpaid, unverified social media accounts is some kind of requirement for living a productive life, even when you make your bread through online content. Sorry if it sounds harsh, that's just what I think, and what I'd tell a loved one.

  She did go to the police with the threats. They sent her away. Now what's the plan if authorities won't act? Wait for congress to hold hearings on one's behalf after the violence is done? Most police wouldn't be happy with their personal and loved ones' information being posted online with the purpose of making threats of violence or other harm.
