The difference being that in one case they harass you directly and in the other they harass your employer, family, and any future employers?


Unorganized individuals from twitter contacting your employer isn't harassment. If it is the implications would be scary the other way around: would you punish someone who pointed out a problem that happened to become popular on a social network?
