    Has been found badly beaten and set on fire in a park in Antigua.

    Weird.

    Looks like a rumour started by a wind-up Twitter account.

    It's come from a "spoof" twitter account that seems to really get off on people being on fire.

    Twitter has more spoof accounts than real it seems sometimes. It is funny tho when people get hooked by them, the sort of person who rants at soccer guy USA .

    I've asked on CI what use twitter was, and based on some of the replies, gave it a go.

    I've a lower opinion of it now than I had before. It's mostly bullshit and bollocks, and the stuff that isn't tends to need verifying elsewhere or you get a biased version.

    If you follow the right people, you won't get such problems very often.

    Unfortunately, I follow OLM. <laugh>

    Twitter's just a tool, it's no different to being on here, only it's far more comprehensive and you get to pick and chose whose posts you see.

    You beat me to it.

    This probably wasn't the best thread to make that claim was it.
