Melody Hensley from Washington claims to suffer from PTSD as a result of being harassed on Twitter over her outspoken feminist/atheist ideas. She has come under mega fire this week after saying the PTSD caused to her by online harassment and Twitter trolls is equal to that of military veterans – definitely not the cleverest thing to say if you want to keep Twitter trolls at bay.

Let’s take a look at her Tweets:

If you are in the military and you are harassing me about my PTSD, expect that I will be speaking to your commanding officer.

I WILL NOT be silenced about the seriousness of online harassment and cyberstalking. I have PTSD and it’s changed my life forever. – Melody Hensley (@MelodyHensley) April 13, 2014

This wk has been tough. There has been a campaign against me. I’m blocking dozens of accounts of ppl telling me I don’t have PTSD & threats. – Melody Hensley (@MelodyHensley) April 13, 2014

“You wouldn’t talk about it if you had PTSD.” According to my psychologist, anything that make me feel in control is good for my health. – Melody Hensley (@MelodyHensley) April 14, 2014

I’m taking control by speaking out and not allowing you to silence me. – Melody Hensley (@MelodyHensley) April 14, 2014

I am not getting barraged by a cybermob. Apparently a video was made because I fought back when a vet was harassing me for PTSD. – Melody Hensley (@MelodyHensley) April 15, 2014
