"Hey @Twitter remember when I reported the guy who was making threats towards me after my appearance on @FoxNews and you guys sent back a bs response about how you didn't find it that serious. Well guess what it's the guy who has been sending #bombs to high profile politicians!!!!"

Not a rhetorical question. On the one hand, I expect police and FBI would be swamped by constant bullshit. I expect that every online forum would experience some extreme chilling effects from the overreaction of every moderator towards the prospect of violence. But I also expect civility would increase markedly. And I wonder if the ephemeral aspect of online discourse that used to excuse its baser behavior is falling by the wayside, and I wonder what that recalibration is going to look like.
