The New Civility: Blogger Ann Althouse’s ‘Madison Privileges Have Been Revoked’

The New Civility: Blogger Ann Althouse’s ‘Madison Privileges Have Been Revoked’
"In an unsigned “Operation: Countertroll” screed, they declare, “Your city of Madison privileges have been revoked.”

The foul-mouthed message of intimidation is crystal-clear.
This passage is (almost) profanity free:
“We are at every coffee shop on State, open to close, all the time.
We will hang up wanted posters of you everywhere you like to go.
We will picket on public property as close to your house as we can every day.
We will harass the ever-loving sh*t out of you all the time.
Campus is OCCUPIED.
State Street is OCCUPIED.
The Square is OCCUPIED.
Vilas, Schenk’s Corners, Atwood, WillyStreet — Occupied, Occupied, Occupied, Occupied.”"
