I remember [profile] anniesj getting a visit from the Secret Service
I'd forgotten about that post. The thing that bugs me the most about it is how much protection elected officials get from anonymous (or even non-anonymous) potential threats made on them and yet some other citizen going through unbelievable harassment and actual threatening actions can't get anyone to do a thing -- not social media platforms, local police, FBI or anyone. And yet we're talking about some heated discussion from more than 10 years now that somehow did. That's infuriating, but given that our president-elect engages in some of that same lack of civility we sure can't be expecting changes anytime soon.
