Not me, but I am not a celebrity. I didn't say they shouldn't call the police. Only that this type of trolling is very very very very very very very very common on the internet. It really is a non story.

As a celeb, you have to figure if you do anything controversial, there will be blowback and some of that criticism will be trolling.

Maybe not in this countries very singular mold of conservative (there are many different flavours of liberal, who don't agree with each other on many issues), but there is a whole lot of stupid people who say stupid things who like hunting, just like they are a lot of stupid people who say stupid things who don't like hunting.

Sorry, I did forget to say "in before the different shades of grey on conservative in other more evolved and sophistimicated countries" BS. Thanks for reminding me.

Oh, and in before "you made a spelling mistake on sophistimicated."

Cite what using stats. You don't think that trolling is a very, very, very, very common thing?

Go to any comment section on just about any topic on any popular website and read the trolling. There is no need for a study. Trolling of this kind is everywhere on the internet. I have seen people do a workout video post it on Youtube get comments about killing themselves from strangers.

Statistical cite regarding death threat tweets and other social media posting? Please indicate where the statistical significance lies also if you can.

I'm sure someone somewhere has done a study on internet trolling. I should have written that I don't need a study. Maybe you do go find one. It will tell you that internet trolling is very very, very common.

How would we know? It's a lefty coined name......

I with my father and my uncles years ago were accosted duck hunting by anti hunters. I was about 30 then, and was so angery I got in the anti's boat shot gun in hand and pulled the drain plug out of the transom and threw it over board...

They were in no danger so long as they didn't stop the boat That kinda settled that argument.
