A friend of mine had her address publicized and pictures taken in front of her home--no, not Google Street View shots, new pictures--by anonymous Twitter eggs who told her they would behead her and rape her. Should that not be taken seriously?

(She, of course, did take it seriously; she crashed on friends' couches for a few weeks while she found a new place to live. And she is not the only one by a long shot; this is totally a just and equitable punishment for being a woman on the Internet, though, I guess.)
