Do you abuse celebrities on Twitter?

    Was reading a Re-Tweet from John Hartson (footballer) who was sent this, this morning.

    "I hear the guys in the morgue have had you're m8 hanging from a meat hook using him as a human punchbag #hopeso"

    Same guy also sent a message to Robbie Savage who, by the fact he hasn't said anything this morning, may not have seen it yet

    "you're mate will be getting his insides sucked out of his arse about now by the morgue monsters #stiffasaboard #blue"

    It appears to be in reference to Gary Speed, but regardless of who its about, it's a pretty sick thing to think/say. Do you log on to twitter to send abuse to anyone let alone a celebrity you don't know?

    I was gonna sign up to abuse Jeremy clarkson but I used Facebook instead

    "Abusing" people on the internet has got to be up there in the most retarded things to do ever.

    Some folk are just brain dead. It can't be helped.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,528 ✭✭✭foxyboxer


    just looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

    If Hartson replied to the bait, it would be the highlight of the trolls life.

    "OMGOMGOMG...Famous Footballer John Hartson is...talking...nay interacting with MEEEEEE!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭damoz

    well he got his fame by the RT - but RT was the right thing to do - expose this sort of thing rather than ingnore it

    Thats disgusting stuff in the OP. Worst thing about the internet age and social networking, its gives a voice to the twisted pea-brained knuckle draggers who don't even deserve air to breathe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    only twits use Twitter


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭Corruptable


    Nope. I don't believe in following or viewing celebrity twitter pages, as I disagree with recognising so-called "fame" as something worthy of appreciation.

    Absolutely disgusting trolling through, completely unwarranted. As pointed out, someone obviously enjoys getting notoriety out of this while really they should be ignored by the person abused and the rest of society.

    Just checked out the bloke who did it, he's loving the attention. Obviously ignored as a child.

    the fact he uses the phrase "baby making machine" on his profile means he's not getting any and is having to provide some self service.

    I don't thnk she'd need to use the whip on me in the final furlong, so to speak.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    You can tweet to John Hartson he needs to learn how to spell English.
    "I hear the guys in the morgue have had you're m8 hanging from a meat hook using him as a human punchbag #hopeso"
    you're = "you are", not "your"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,787 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Never bothered with twitter, it seems even more inane than facebook. I hate the way the media drool over it, really, really annoys me to hear them bleat on about how great and world changing twitter is in the media circles.

    Yeah someone needs to tell her to go to M&S, Iceland's useless.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Usually I'd view re-tweeting abuse as a form of attention seeking from the re-tweeter, but having read those messages sent to Hartson and Savage, the people who sent them deserve the abuse that is going to reign down upon them.

    Sick ****ers.

    I think After Hours is quite inane.

    I've sent Rio Ferdiannd a few pieces of my mind, mainly because I dont like him but it wouldnt be anything as bad or as harsh as the above though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 96 ✭✭CuriousOne


    Nevermind celebrities, I have a flock of tweeting birds shítting on my car everyday - I'm so sick of this abuse!

    That's it, I'm taking Aves to court.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 96 ✭✭CuriousOne


    Peter Collins is funny though.

    I dont get this though. Why bother your hole? Do you follow him just to tell him you don't like him?

    Abusing celebrities on Twitter? No that doesn't make you look like a sad, underachieving loser at all does it:rolleyes:

    Exactly.


    I wanted to follow an Irish comedian to see if he'd mention any up coming gigs etc., and what I found on his profile was a tirade of abuse. Worst thing was, he was actually REPLYING to them. Talk about feeding the troll. He's a sound, down to earth guy. The cúnts that fire him abuse are just begrudger's looking to get a rise out of him. I can understand how comments can be hurtful, but ignoring someone is the best tactic of getting rid of them. No doubt they'll move onto someone else to fire abuse at, like the sad cúnts they are.

    Someday your dreams will come true and you too can be an abused twitter celebrity.

    They'll probably have Twitter Anonymous meetings by then though.

    He should be exposed alright, in the middle of the Sir John Hall stand at Saturday's game with Chelsea.
