Leaving aside views on who should or should not be featured historical people rotated in and out of currency print runs, how does this one matter render the actual topic, inappropriate harassment on the internet, ridiculous?
The harassment here wasn't simple disagreement, we are talking about people who considered it appropriate to make death threats, suggest Criado-Perez should actually be raped, and similar. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25641941 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25641941
The argument is that automated report response systems, as social media necessitates, can easily be abused to actually attack those who are undeserving of being banned. It doesn't pose a solution, however, as the world is, well... a bit shit and near-impossible to fix.
