A "Squadbox" to address online harassment

This is interesting, and I admit my initial reaction was "This won't work." But on second thought it might work for the right person.

A group of researchers at MIT have developed Squadbox, open source software which is billed as a response to online harassment, but it really is a way to personally deal with harassment - not prevent it or address the abusers. It puts the onus for addressing harassment on the harassed.
