4chan. I mean, the threads are all public, it seems exceptionally stupid to claim it wasn't happening.

What would you call this highly publicised and still present Tweet from CNN presenter, Kathy Griffin, I wonder [1]

> Name these kids. I want NAMES. Shame them. If you think these fuckers wouldn’t dox you in a heartbeat, think again.

I would call it a single abusive tweet. Not a coordinated campaign, not specifically targeted at any Twitter user.

This isn't complex.

Suggesting people tweet "learn to code" at journalists wasn't specifically targeting Ben Popken
And he got 1 response.

Not very effective.
