Why did it take Leslie Jones for Twitter to finally ban Milo Yian**poulos?

Yian**poulos was banned for his role in the online harassment of Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones. After writing a scathing review of the film, Yian**poulos and Jones exchanged words on Twitter.*

What he did do (http://fusion.net/story/327103/leslie-jones-twitter-racism/) was post screencaps of fake tweets that made it seem like Jones herself was saying hateful, terrible things. This only fed the trolls that continued to harass and attack her.* Read more...
