I hardly think someone being annoying is "fair" justification for them receiving death threats.

The petition to reinstate Clarkson which got a million signatures was silly enough, this is a whole new level of ridiculous.

She would be a Top Gear disaster but there is no truth in the rumours.

People need to realise Twitter is just people shouting at their tvs and nothing more

..I don't think this has anything to do with fan bases..it's just hate filled internet trolls and wouldn't matter what the story or which celebrities it involved, it would be the same from them/they're idiots and just want to hate...

This is why i much prefer facebook these days. You say something on twitter and you can find yourself the target of some serious abuse.
