This A very close relative of mine had major intestinal surgery last week, and then a heart attack whilst in recovery due to being placed on the wrong medication. I give far more of a **** about that than someone I know nothing about, whether they are 23 with a young son or not, but still I have to get on with it. The fact is that people came on here looking for it on Saturday, and in some small way they got what they wanted in terms of reaction. If you post on this board then accept that some people are going to take the piss out of it, regardless of the subject matter. If you don't like that, or can't handle it then don't come on and then run away crying. I should say that I don't join in with some of the banter that goes on as it's not all within my boundaries, but I do accept it for what it is, and to say that people on GC are thick or have no IQ only goes to demonstrate your own ability to see what's really behind it.
Odd that so far I haven't been sent a text with a joke/p*ss take of the Muamba incident. No matter who the celebrity has been it usually takes about an hour before someone either comes up with a joke or re-writes an existing joke to suit the occasion. There is always a public out pouring of grief when someone famous dies or there is an incident that captures the public's awareness, the shock of seeing someone drop to the floor with a suspected cardiac arrest in the middle of a televised football match is obviously such an incident. I am minded of the mass hysteria when Princess Diana died, the books of condolence, queues of people turning up to sign them, acres of flowers left in Kensington Gardens, hundreds of thousands of people lining the route from the funeral service to where she was buried. And for what? How many of them had met her, benefitted from any of her charity works, or gave a flying f*ck about the woman until she went rattling around in the back of an S class? It is now considered the norm to leave road side floral tributes on the sites of fatal crashes. What used to be personal grief for a few has been escalated into public shows of sympathy, the more gaudy the better. The act of Trolling is an odd thing but could be a reaction to constantly being told how you should react or think when a calamity happens. Technology makes it all the more easy and on a site based on anonymity it is bound to happen.
I'm the only one that got banned for the Muamba thing and it was because of my 'Muamba's high cholesterol' tag. Syd
This People in GC are too nice to each other these days, who gives a **** if toby was banned? **** deserves an IP ban for being a ****
No-one missed you when you were gone, why don't you **** back off again you wannabe-pikey, arse-licking little ****wit
