A man online discussed in graphic detail how he planned to violate me and two other women he specifically named. I came home tonight to see not only those threats, but a series of posts reacting to that news in a variety of ways, some supportive, some I consider dismissive of the threat, and others hostile toward me and the other women threatened. Some have suggested if only we didn't read the threats, there would be no problem. They seem to have no understanding that online threats are sometimes acted upon in real life. Some other posters have responded to news of those threats by talking about how much they dislike the women being threatened.

I understand the views I take are not always popular. I am passionate and don't hesitate to speak my mind. What I could not anticipate, however, is that disagreement would lead to the kind of reactions I have seen. I can't imagine responding with anything but horror at hearing of such treatment toward anyone, not only other members of this site but of people I find politically reprehensible, like Michelle Bachmann or Louie Gohmert. No human being deserves to be threatened or degraded.

To those who have been supportive, I thank you for your concerns and empathy. To others, I can only say that I am deeply saddened.

ETA: Since so many people don't have accounts on Discussionist, I'm adding in the text of the comments. They are vulgar, offensive, and graphic, but I think the specific text is important to understanding the situation.

Because of all the suggestions I've had to contact police, I am posting the comments here so that I can get feedback as to whether you all think these are direct enough threats to warrant such a report. I'd appreciate feedback on that particular point.

and comment in which he names me and redqueen specifically. http://www.discussionist.com/?com=view_post&forum=1016&pid=36932

24. Those women need a good dicking.
I'm sure if most of the feminazis on the site got fucked by a few dudes with huge cocks, they'd be happy and wouldn't troll anymore.

Hell, I'd do BainesBane and redqueen at the same time. Both of them have nice tits I'd love to cover with my man goo.
