Miley Cyrus isn’t going to stand by and let anonymous people wish her harm via Twitter.  After one such person tweeted that that they wished the singer/actress dead because she “dresses like white trash” and is “so f***king hideous,” Miley responded, “U have nothing better 2 do than hate? That saddens me. Im surrounded by love Im sorry 4 whatever happened 2 make u so bitter.”

According to E! Online, the alleged death threats have been deleted, but Miley’s responses to them are still posted — and in one of them, she calls out Twitter for allowing this kind of abuse.   When fans suggested she simply ignore the haters, Miley wrote, “I wont tolerate someone telling me 2 die. I think Twitter needs to take some responsibility and make it a safe environment!”

Soon afterwards, Miley departed for Elton John’s annual Oscar night viewing party, where she looked absolutely gorgeous in a sophisticated, backless silver fishtail gown, with a vintage-style hairdo.  “Thank you Sir Elton John for such a lovely night!,” she tweeted. “Now to Vanity Fair. I love all the glitz & glam of the oscars & celebrating such talent!”

Let me introduce you to a phrase that is widely used on the internet. QQ moar. If you don’t like the crazy then don’t use Twitter.

Sorry, Miley, but you can’t walk down the street expecting everyone to love you all the time. Just because it’s in print and it’s against doesn’t mean it should be CENSORED. Are you trying to be the new thought police? Twitter is for sharing your thoughts – as long as it’s all about peace, love, unicorns and lollipops? I don’t think you quite understand how the world works, dear. Crawl back into your little glittery trailer park bubble and let the rest of the world exist on its terms, not yours.

I can’t say l like your response towards miley.Ok not everyone is going to sweetness & light all the time.But that doesn’t give ppl the right to wish someone dead.
How would you feel if someone wanted you to die,would you just shrug your shoulders & say oh well that’s the way of the world?.
You wouldn’t like it would you.Well why should miley have to put up with all that rubbish.Or maybe you’re just one of these haters.
You see unlike you,miley is thinking
Of others using these social networks,& not just herself.
If you didn’t know,that’s how thoughtful miley is.
Godbless you miley,don’t worry what these haters say.

I do not like the haters or there comments. However didn’t Miley post something like “I will destroy anyone who talks about her friend. when she state she will destroy anyone. Is this not a hate threat.

I do think there should be more monitoring on sites like Twitter of FB, not just for celebrities but for all the cyber bullying that goes on in school now a days.
