Robin Williams' daughter quits social media over the trolls

Since posting a message Monday night about her father's death, and yesterday on her Tumblr, Zelda Williams has received a ton of support in social media. But it's the hateful response of (again) some anonymous Internet abusers that is forcing her off social media for the indefinite future.

I'm sorry. I should've risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye.

She had called on her followers to shun Twitter accounts @PimpStory and @MrGoosebuster, which have been suspended, but she later deleted her tweet.
