    Do you generally just abuse people you don't know ? Or is it a new thing.

    Like for example would you walk up to someone's front door and shout donkey at them when they answer?

    And would you think that's sound ?

    You should have called him a ‘dunkey’ instead.

    I think a footballer being called a donkey for being ****e is quite mild !
    Have you seen twitter ??


    Why would i walk up to their door and called them a donkey ?

    I called a footballer that is a terrible footballer a donkey... .that is a term for a sh1te footballer going back decades, so to shout it at a random person when they open their door would be weird.....

    Anyway.....

    Suppose someone went on twitter and called you a donkey for being ****e at your job.

    Being a footballer doesn't give you a free shot to abuse them online.

    Yeah, OK, so this isn't your first ban then is it? No way twitter has permanently banned you for calling someone a donkey, I called someone a cùnt and got a 12 hour suspension where I could still log into my account but could not post for my first transgression.

    If you are permanently banned then you have definitely come to thier attention many many times before.

    Well see there's the difference. You think logging in and abusing him by calling him a donkey is different on twitter because you are an anonymous and there's no blow back. To knocking on his door and doing the same thing.

    Il give you a hint . They are no different both actions the person receives your abuse and both actions make you look like a prick.

    It doesn't matter what the rest of the mild looks like maybe carry yourself with a bit more 'what would I say to this person in real life' ..

    Well you did come on to a forum with a scenario for opinion. That's why it's here.

    Be a bit more thoughtful in your interactions with people on twitter you might find your a better person for it.

    MOD Thread closed, OP this really isnt the place to have a whinge about a twitter ban. Twitter have their rules for using their site just like boards does, respect the rules and you wont get banned.
