Curt Shilling Twitter story. Bravo. This coming from a die hard Yankee fan.
- Thread starter WhiteBus
- Start date
The names and mug shots of Adam Nagel and Sean McDonald should be prominently displayed across the Internet as an example for future internet tough guys to see. By making an example of these two losers maybe it will teach other would be bullies a lesson about accountability in the real world.
Also amazed that some are taking shots at Shilling. The guy lost his life savings investing in his startup gaming software company and yet some here criticize him for laying off the 400 employees ? What a false sense of entitlement some have.

Choppin,
Fully agree.
I was thinking about this and the conversation we where having about Title II and Net Neutrality, during that conversation I cited a passage of prosecuting people for Obscenities under title II and you pointed out that that section was used for harassing telecommunications. So do you think that if the Title II ruling stands you could prosecute these to lowlifes under that section? They did communicate directly with Schilling and some of the stuff they wrote seems to fall right in line as described in that section.
If the answer is yes then I might change my mind in favor of the FCC ruling just to get these types off of the Internet.

Read his blog. Yes it mentions guys wanting to rape her. The two that he calls out are just 2 of 7 that that he is asking/seeking legal actions.
Besides what you read of those two constitutes rape. She is just 17!! Isn't fists and Easton bats enough for you to read?? The whole thing is discusting but we have others in here making excuses. I am not saying your are one.
you didn't see the Tweets about doing a DP on her with a bat? didn't see the comments about putting their fist in her?
given that she is 17 and does not know these pieces of sh*t it's pretty much a threat of rape.

I think this society celebrates the new and shocking... and that results in a "slippery slope" as each successive generation tries to be new and shocking going beyond what the previous generation has done/allowed.
You can simply focus on what is allowable on network television today and go back generation by generation and see what, by present day, tame content was deemed shocking at the time.
Examples.. "bitch" and "douche" are rather commonplace in the media today.
read this from the American Enterprise Institute from 2001.. an erudite piece by Charles Murray.
You should look up the definition of rape. There are multiple rape threats made in those tweets.
The whole "it's the internet, deal with it" mindset is disgusting. Trolling is one thing, those two losers took it to a completely different level.
It's an interesting thought that I hadn't considered. It does make it seem as though harassing tweets (or Facebook messages, etc) could fall under the same rules that harassing telephone calls do today. You can't call someone's home and make a death/rape threat... stands to reason you shouldn't be able to tweet it to them, either.
