TROLL-CALLER: Caroline Craido-Perez felt “fear and horror” because of postings about her on Twitter.
A man from Bristol has been jailed for posting threatening messages to two women public figures on the social networking platform Twitter.
Peter Nunn, 33, was found guilty by a judge at the City of London Magistrates Court. District Judge Elizabeth Roscoe said she had no option but to find him guilty of sending indecent, obscene or menacing messages.
The court was told that one of the feminists, Stella Creasy MP, had “increasing concern that individuals were seeking not only to cause her distress but also to cause her real harm which led her to fear for her own safety.”
Steve Rotheram MP campaigns against Internet trolling. “We all know that parliamentarians are pachyderms, with little or no feeling, so it (trolling) should not bother us,” he said. Abercyonwy MP, Guto Bebb agreed. “Such attacks, on the whole, need to be expected and accepted by a politician as part and parcel of the decision to become a public figure,” he said about trolling on blogs in general.
Another of the feminists trolled by Nunn, Caroline Criado-Perez, was said to have felt “fear and horror,” manifesting in dizzy spells and other physical symptoms.
A spokesperson for the British political party ‘Justice for men & boys (and the women who love them)’, is disgusted by the freelance journalist. “Caroline Criado-Perez is the professional whine merchant behind such pathetic campaigns as ‘women on banknotes’,” they said. “She appears with monotonous regularity in the mainstream media, often complaining of efforts to silence her.
“She personally gets considerably more mainstream media coverage – globally – than all the world’s men’s human rights advocates collectively.“
