Strongly agreed.

Our ability to document and share content has exploded over the last decade.  Our ability to surveil and report against this content also continues to improve.

Threats are bad.  People who make threats are small-minded at best, and dangerous at worst.

... but I can recall a lot of people saying a lot of nasty stuff about Ralph Klein.

So while our ability to report against the number of threats (idle or not) has improved, I don't know if this translates to an actual increase in danger to the well being of our political leaders.
