The Department of Public Prosecutions have stated that court action will only be taken in cases representing a 'sustained campaign of harassment' or direct threat.
It's about time that a sensible decision was made and now perhaps people will stop wasting police time with silly complaints about being harassed or abused on Twitter when they are actually only being criticised or just plain insulted.
I've said it before but it is worth repeating that if someone puts him or herself up for public appreciation in some way then he/she has to put up with the opposite as well. Not everybody is going to like them.
And while I'm on the subject, I wish they would stop using the word *troll* in this context. A troll is someone who constantly looks for arguments and NOT a person who insults other people.
Right, maybe I can get back to *expressing my perfectly valid opinions* about the awful Chelseeeee Healey in peace without worrying about a knock on the door at some dreadful hour in the morning.
