Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

OMG!!!

In response, he is getting heaps back at him; however I don't think it will do any good. He craves attention obviously!

Re: Sad World - Our favourite Moffie has had death threats on Twitter!!
I posted about this on my tumblr here and also was a bit cheeky with Law & Order opening credit lines in this post
And (fangirl moment) got a twitter reply from Amanda Abbington when I challenged her use of the word "fool" to describe him lol.
I think that this is a prime example of defered responsibility in social media and the fact that being anonymous seems to make people believe the normal social and legal rules don't apply to them somehow. I'm sure I saw an article about the way the 'anonymous' mask of online interaction has meant that people will say things online they would never say to someone's face but I can't find it now.
I think that the social media presence of a lot of celebs these days means they are far more accessible (or seem to be) and that's a wonderful thing. You feel like you can really tell someone how much you enjoy their work. The negative side is that people feel it's appropriate to also tell them how much they dislike their work. And you know, as long as it's just critiquing their work well, it's kind of reasonable - that's the world they're working in. But as soon as you make it a personal attack it goes way outside the boundaries of what's okay and acceptable. I personally don't post anything in any social media environment I wouldn't be comfortable discussing with the recipient in person. I have strong doubts this person would make those same threats in person - he/she is clearly a coward and probably has mental health issues if they are responding so vehemently to a man who is partly responsible for a fictional world.
Sorry that became a bit of a rant but I seriously take issue with shit like this.

Sue has already stated that getting this guy banned doesn't work. He just creates another account. See her second post in the images above "Block 'em and they're back again"

Re: Sad World - Our favourite Moffie has had death threats on Twitter!!
Yep report them all; they could block his ip addresses, everytime he gets a new one; OR if it is bad enough, they will get the authorities onto them now... happens a lot these days
We just need to raise a big enough stink!
(psstt also a good time to let them know what website WE arefrom)

You did? I thought I had you on my follow or my SH/Cumberbatch list. Apparently I don't. PM me your twitter id?

Of course we do... thanks for that, Sherlock.
I really can't understand this kind of people. I may be a bit obsessed with some stuff sometimes (like I am right now with The Reichenbach Fall, haha) but... death threats? Does this people have no life? Or what?

But the thing is, we've taken away all the things that can possibly have happened, so I suppose the only thing that's left, even though it seems really weird, must be the thing that did happen, in fact. (Miss Marple)

Re: Sad World - Our favourite Moffie has had death threats on Twitter!!
They just want attention really. Their posts are attracting a LOT of attention, so they have been 'successful' in something, probably for the first time in their life.
And they've 'been noticed' by a someone famous so that makes them feel even more special.
Steve Moffatt, Sue and all the other wonderful people who bring us such brilliant entertainment open their doors just a little tiny bit to their fans when they get on Twitter & the like. I understand that they enjoy the sharing atmosphere that it creates, whilst still maintaining fans at a 'safe' distance.
I enjoy just reading their tweets without responding sometimes. In this strange world we live in today, it somehow fills a void of intelligent (well sometimes anyway) & witty interaction that seems to be lacking certainly in my life! Hence, I take it kinda personally when someone threatens that interaction.And morons like this current idiot ruin that fun atmosphere and 'push' these guys further away from us.
In closing my rant I say :
I cannot blame Benedict at all for not using social networking, he seems sensitive enough to comments made about him. We could lose him forever. (gasp, shock horror cringe)
Phewww that was a scary thought.

Re: Sad World - Our favourite Moffie has had death threats on Twitter!!
Yeah I totally understand why Benedict and Martin aren't on Twitter and although it's sad, I hope it stays that way just for their sakes and ours!

I send them a link to the forum too - that was fun!

Well, I think if they take a look here they will have a good time reading our posts about The Reichenbach Fall theories... anyway, I'm glad Benedict is not among them in Twitter and he can't read all the silly things I say here about his voice... that would be too embarrasing

Oh don't bet on that. He may not have an account, but that doesn't stop him from reading things, lmao.
I'm sure in an interview Sue Vertue said that they saw Sherlock trending straight after one of the shows aired and Benedict was there checking out what was happening online. There was a mention of how surprised they all were that the reaction to shows now is basically instantaneous.
