    Perhaps it's just me

    The Sheffield Star commenting on trouble between Barnsley Football Club and it's fans during the long build up to the very important game between Sheffield Wednesday & Barnsley. What a surprise(!) That's the same Sheffield Star who claimed John Sheridan was to be Barnsley's new manager two days before Keith Hill's appointment. That's the same Sheffield Star who insisted Sean O'Driscoll was to be Hill's successor, 24 hours before he said he didn't want the job.
    His supposed comments in the article appear to be poles apart from his attitude when arranging to see supporters, something he needn't do. Don Rowing stated in the two meetings with BBS members that we could ask what ever questions we liked and he was quite relaxed with the stick which came his way, as he is thick skinned.
    I'll believe what the man says when talking face to face with him, rather than reading something from that paper. A paper whose only useful contribution is by being soft, strong and thoroughly absorbent!

    [TABLE="width: 475"]
    <tbody>[TR]
    [TD="class: text, colspan: 2"]1. A Person who, being unable to express his anger through physical violence (owning to their physical weakness, lack of bravery and/or conviction in real life), instead manifests said emotions through the text-based medium of the internet, usually in the form of aggressive writing that the Keyboard Warrior would not (for reasons previously mentioned) be able to give form to in real life.
    2. The term is a combination of the word 'keyboard' (the main tool by which the person expresses his/her latent rage) and 'warrior' (due to the warrior-like aggression, tendency towards violence, headstrong nature and propensity towards brute force as a means of resolving conflict rather than more subtle means dependant on finesse).
    3. The Keyboard Warrior seeks to use the power imbued in his 'weapon' to effect death and destruction (in a strictly-metaphorical sense) upon his foes (other virtual identities he has encountered on the internet). In essence, the keyboard (ie. text input ability) allows the keyboard warrior to manifest his true warrior nature in a safe and removed environment, from which no real-life repercussions .
    4. Keyboard Warriors are generally identified by unneccessary rage in their written communications, and are regarded as 'losers' by other virtual identities on the internet.

    The assumption is that he's au fait with and can differentiate between blogs, bulletin boards, twitter, FaceBook, stumbleupon and other social media outlets. In some people's minds anything posted on t'internet is a blog.

    That's the conclusion I've come to.

    And as Dyson pointed out, I think he's more likely to be referring to Facebook. Some right simpletons on there.
