Anyone able to explain to me what on earth is happening on Twitter of late? I've just heard on the news that history professor / TV presenter Mary Beard has recieved of all things a 'bomb threat' (link). There also seems to be people receiving "threats of rape" for supporting having a picture of Jane Austen on the new £10 note. I'm sorry, but WTF? Who are these idiots and what are they trying to achieve? I can't believe someone like Mary Beard would ever receive a death threat for anything - I've watched many of her TV programs and she comes across as a decent, articulate and clearly very knowledgable historian, which is exactly what's required for the programs she presents, It strikes me as a truly crazy world where such folk are attacked.
PS I'm still very much a beginner with Twitter, I created a pfm account years ago though it's all but dormant (I just wanted to grab the name really). Recently we've created an account for älter (my new pop band) and that's working a lot better as one of the others in the band is Twitter-literate and driving it a bit (please feel free to follow us or whatever you do!).
