Hello,
While we understand your frustration, the reported behavior is not in violation of the Twitter Rules (http://twitter.com/rules).
We have found overwhelmingly that responding to users who are intentionally attempting to aggravate you encourages that user to continue their behavior. We recommend you don’t reply, retweet, comment on their behavior, or instigate them. If you'd prefer not to see content from that person, you can block the user using the blocking feature described here: https://support.twitter.com/entries/117063
As a policy, we do not mediate content and we do not intervene in disputes between users. This means that users are allowed to post potentially inflammatory content, provided that they do not violate the Twitter Rules.
If you believe the content or behavior you are reporting is prohibited in your local jurisdiction, please contact your local authorities so they can accurately assess the content or behavior for possible violations of local law. If Twitter is contacted directly by law enforcement, we can work with them and provide assistance for their investigation as well as guidance around possible approaches. You can point local law enforcement to our Law Enforcement Guidelines here: https://support.twitter.com/articles/41949.
If you’re concerned for your physical safety, please contact your local authorities for further assistance. Please let us know if you believe the behavior has escalated or otherwise violates our rules.
Sincerely,
@MUP
Twitter Trust and Safety

Description: I saw this tweet on Interactions today:
Mr. Wizard @theWoZHimself
My accounts as of 8/21/12 – @drbrucebanner1 / @hulkstrongest1 @seekerofdeath @johncons… http://twextra.com/a8261t

Twitter username (optional): @johncons
Anything else? (optional): I've really been impersonated a lot lately on Twitter.
Not that much on Facebook, but a lot on Twitter.
Earlier it used to be the other way, I was impersonated a lot on Facebook.
But I think Facebook are stricter towards impersonation and harassment, where as Twitter let much of this pass, it seems to me.
So harassers and impersonators seeks to Twitter, it seems to me.
