Twitter's 'cool' people


A twitter user(troll)  has been jailed for 18 weeks for posting abusive messages on twitter for the UK Labour MP Stella Creasy. He made crass abuses threatening to rape and murder the politician. All because this twitter troll disagreed with her campaign.  The news can be read here.

I think this is a very welcome development that criminalizes 'online' harassment and abuse. People think that just because they could go online, and just because they have platforms like twitter, facebook, or blogs, it is okay to abuse others, call them names and harass them. As far as I know, this is the first time a custodial sentence(and not suspended) has been awarded for this sort of harassment. 

To have access, have followers who think  'cool' quotient increases by abusing others and makes them a philosopher with profound wisdom does not make the act okay. Just because, in almost every other case there are no consequences, and just because the victim can't do anything, does not make the act legitimate. Being wannabe celebrity, and having few like minded 'cool' followers -a clique of self proclaimed sophists - does not give the permit to abuse others online. There is a real world waiting for these online narcissists.

My sincere appreciation for Stella Creasy for not taking this twitter harassment silently.

    I brought together a Diet Pills agreement. You may also want to take under advisement adding Diet Pills so that you may work with using that. The human brain is a fascinating thing. This is a major commitment. How are you supposed to say what I mean when that writes Diet Pills so well? It isn't only for serious associates. In this situation, however, Diet Pills just stinks up the place.
