Food for thought.

Doubtful that this article would apply to anyone on here, but an interesting read nonetheless.

there's an argument that if you pay your (hard earned) money to go to football you should be able to give as much abuse as you like to whomever you like. I can understand that argument, because of the passion in a ground. Online abuse is inexcusable. keyboard warriors hiding behind their laptops anonymously?
they should be shot.

 

Threat of violence....now now PnCT, you bad bad poster you.

 

Yeh but for once I agree with Patty, online abuse on any site should be come down on like a ton of bricks and I am not just talking about Footy related abuse either.

 

that includes calling anyone a jock bastard

 

Just how can you be abusive to a poster who's name you don't know? My name is Mel, I hide behind my user name Melu, why? Because its an option that gives me the ability to deny who I actually am. If someone calls me a fat racist bastard. It is my not606 persona that gets upset, not me in real life. But post my real name and be abusive and I will get annoyed.
