I have had this person blocked since I got an abusive @reply. I would hope this has been reported to the NZ Police and that they have visited it/saved some evidence -- with the frequency of reports I would assume it'll be gone soon :/

Someone should ring up their local Police station and just ask them to save it/print it so at least there is official evidence.

Reported to Twitter. And I'm going to tweet to @delbius (Twitter employee) to grab her attention.

I am so greatful for the support show here and on Twitter. I feel very humbled.

A formal complaint has been lodged with the NZ Police.

Thank you again.

I spotted it, logged it as spam and got "Twitter is stressing out a bit right now, so this feature is temporarily disabled." it's been doing this for a while.

ROFL, it's a bit more than "name calling" I think! Stupid Twitter support...

It is a shame Twitter support is obviously not seeing this as a serious harassment case.

I would like to see Telecom New Zealand spend some time and money and put those lawyers of them into the case and get Twitter to comply with local laws on defamation, libel and harassment.
