This 2moms situation with the threats that is terrible, but am I the only one who gets a little offended that it is immediately gillovny people accused of being behind? Nobody should get those threats…but then again nobody should immediately accuse other people.. Every side gets these threats, she is not the only one and will not be the last one… but by accusing the other side, I think she makes the situation worse and almost encourage hatred against gillovny believers.

It’s ridiculous to me that anyone would carry so much hatred for a group representing an opposing view/opinion that they would resort to accusing them of being behind death threats.  To me, posting the threats calls attention to it, and why would anyone want to do that?  There’s also no reason anyone logical should think they’re the only ones receiving them.  A basic Google search of news covering social media trends and events will tell you that it’s common – far too common, but it goes with the territory.  So many of us have had nasty and threatening anons.  Report, block and delete.  It should be common practice. Publishing them doesn’t serve any purpose.

And I’ll add one more thing.   There was some anger about how I, and others, “dared” to bring Gillovny into this.  We didn’t randomly feel like adding it. That was the accusation of the person who received the death threat and it was continued by others supporting her in their reblogs.  Those of us who responded and included it in our answers weren’t doing it because we were bored. Literally not one day goes by without one of those blogs trying to rain down hell (or incite it)  through posts and anon answers that shouldn’t even touch on the topic of Gillovny.  And yet, they inevitably step right into that territory.  So yes, they’re encouraging more hatred against people who remain Gillovny, and they’re encouraging others through their baseless accusations to come to our blogs and say the same things.

I haven’t seen one person on my dash complain about getting hate anons or threatening anons even though we’re receiving them.  We just choose to discuss it privately.  But we aren’t going onto our blogs to talk about how targeted we are.  There are choices – threats like that need not be posted.

I’m sorry that this turned into a longer answer.  The short of it is, yes, they’re encouraging hatred against people who are Gillovny.  Reading through even a few of their posts on any of the recent days will tell you that (taunting tags included).  It’s unfortunate but if anything, it helps you make crystal clear choices about who to follow and what they really think.
