I can't edit my comment above anymore so I'll add my addendum here.
I am saddened by the responses I have seen below from HNers.
The story relates to sexual threats of violence and rape of a minor. I stated that the offenders should be prosecuted and IF CONVICTED dealt with strictly under the applicable laws.
Our society is slipping into a nasty place where people feel that it is quite appropriate and acceptable to threaten and harass others online.
I think that it is a practice that needs to be stamped out, regardless of whether the threats are by men against women or vice versa; racial, homophobic or religious.
It shouldn't be tolerated by the mainstream, which when you look on twitter, often appears to be the case.
