Reporter Adrianne Jeffries says she was just trying to put together a story on people with Twitter handles like @isis and @taliban, nothing more. Oddly, Jeffries found herself asking not to be mocked by someone with the Twitter handle @fart.

@adrjeffries that's a cool sounding premise. reminds me of sites like http://t.co/G8Ak2ibrWU and the people who dont want to relinquish them

For what it’s worth, Jeffries did hear back from @Taliban.

@adrjeffries @fart @dinkmagic @chiiidog @isis please continue on with a story on @taliban. Tal needs to be exposed

@MattBinder @adrjeffries @fart @DinkMagic @chiiidog @isis You're right, Binder. It's time the world hears my incredibly bland life story.
