And as some of you may have noticed before I deleted

The brave, upstanding people who spammed the other board with rape threats did the same to my journal. Comments are going into moderation for awhile.

Yikes! That's just... yikes!

Sorry mir, that stinks...

Please tell me that those threats somehow break some sort of law. I realize it's darn near impossible to track someone but I know it can be done. Mir, I can't believe you got them too. I feel so stupid when I get stunned by behavior like this. I know it happens, and yet every time I hear about it I'm blown out of the water all over again.

The initial ones were anonymous. I checked LJ, and they won't do anything about anonymous harassment because you can turn off the contents.

It surprises me too, but in a way it's good to remember exactly what's out there, and that things ARE as bad as it's said. It's too easy to disbelieve that people are actually that level of assholes because it seems unreal somehow. But then, you get the proof.

My God, Mir, I am stunned. That's so scary, I don't blame you a bit. I just wish there was better recourse.

[mirandaflynn]

Meh. I'm not scared...after the first part of this year, it takes something major to scare me. I just don't feel like giving them a place.

So, all you can do then is just turn off anonymous posts? Or do you have to watch for them and delete them yourself?
Jerks.

No, I've disabled anonymous commenting. In fact, my current settings only allow friends to comment here.
