I think this is long overdue. Mostly because I have had instances of being harassed, and I do not mean a political disagreement. I mean some one actually following me from comment section to comment section maliciously harassing me and threatening violence against me. I deleted that account and made this one to escape the person. Shouldn't have to do that. Reporting the guy did nothing. He was allowed to freely attack me as much as he liked. There have been others leave because they had similar issues.
That being said,if people can't handle the political debate or argument or whatever then they should not engage. That seems to be what fuels some of these trolls. One guy was carrying on about being "bullied" yet there he was, literally asking for it by attacking other people and trolling the snot out of them first. Then he cried about being attacked and blah blah blah. You can't win in this thing. You just can't.
