"For self-protection, I am taking a short twitter break. I will be spending that time with my lawyers & law enforcement going after 1 of u.
Last night, for the second time, a deplorable aware I have epilepsy tweeted a strobe at me with the message "you deserve a seizure’ on it. …it worked.

Man, that sucks. And the ensuing schoolyard Twitter fight just makes my brain hurt so bad.

I do find it weird that in the middle of all his tweets about this attack he took time to hawk Kathy Griffin’s new book.

This is definitely a case where Twitter crosses the line from “just free speech” to something worse. This is not speech.
Inciting violence is also not free speech. So, in a just world, anyone who tweets anything threatening at someone had better hope that nothing bad happens to that person.
