Twitter Joke Trial

He'll be behind bars too, just as soon as I can find his posts about rape and send them off to Scotland Yard.

 

I was trying to think of something he'd posted. Good man.

He won't reply. Which will then make me take the piss out of him for taking the piss out of Hemsworth for ignoring posts.

 

I remember my sister breaking my toy matchbox airport...I swear to god I wanted holy hell to rain down on her...she just told me to get over it and find a job

 

They'll probably be lost to the great BBS migration but fear not I have recent proof that ST publically agreed that people that run on the pitch should be killed with no repercussions so if that’s not incitement to murder then I don’t know what is. I tell you if I'm going down then I'm taking half of this board with me. :wink:

 

Crackers.
I constantly make it clear on twitter that I would kill Justin Bieber if I got the chance. I also said the other day, that during the deedar derby, Id like the ground to be swallowed up by a black hole.
I shall have to watch my tweets from now on.
And what about @Not_Keith_Hill? He regularly goes on SAS style missions to opposing managers houses, often with Flicker in tow, to find the upcoming tactics etc. I actually think that helped us beat Grayson and the dirties, twice

 

I'm pretty sure that we established a LONG time ago that I didn't actually post a joke about rape and I never had any intention to post a joke about rape. I was going to post a joke about crimewatch, not about rape but in actual fact I didn't even do that.

 

Re: Have you put that to be controversial or is that what you genuinely believe?

I believe it. When I said 'whatever he gets' I meant he deserved what he got (a fine), I do't think he deserves to be locked up or have the book thrown at him or anything but I don't think that he can have too many complaints about a fine.

I think that it is very tough to deal with but don't think that twitter can be treated and differently than other forms of communication. If he had written it down and sent it directly to the airport then I think we all automatically assume it is a serious threat, if he does exactly the same on twitter the assumption is he must be joking? Why is that? Are we saying that everything said on twitter is a joke? I've read his tweet a few times and I honestly can't see how it is an attempt at humour, there is no punch line, no jokey little comment written, nothing at all. Now do I think he was seriously planning on blowing the place up? No I don't but I can also see how and why it was taken seriously
