Alan Stubbs Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hopefully he gets banned from the internet altogether, fucking bored hearing about this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob the tank Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Wee Siobhan wasn't being threatened, just being called out for writing complete lies time and time again about Scotland. I was hoping that the Police would respond to her cries for them to 'protect' her, then read the articles which lead to the twitter meltdown, and charge her with incitement, especially after the dreadful Jo Cox case.

Todders Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Campbell has previously sought to have Twitter ban other accounts for spurious reasons. The biter bitten. He has no interest in freedom of speech. Can you provide any actual evidence of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotSquid Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Campbell rather bizarrely issued 'formal notices' previously on Twitter to those committing the heinous crime of.. including his handle on a tweet. He's a seriously weird individual. If anyone seriously doubts that Campbell has himself sought to have Twitter suspend accounts they can trawl through Neil Lovatts timeline from yesterday for a blow by blow account of that particular 'dick versus dick' encounter which saw Campbell report Lovatt to Twitter. Oh and threaten him with a police visit to his employers. Ah what a champion of freedom of speech. Campbell is the classic cowardly bully. Scurries off to tell tales on others then bitches whinily when, surprise surprise, others in that murky little cesspit of cuntery do likewise. That said anything which caused both his and Lovatts accounts to be suspended permanently would be no great loss really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 The issue with the likes of Wings are rarely what they have actually said (although what thebut the incitement to the caravan of fellow travellers to wade in. That said anyone can take simple steps to modify who they receive notifications from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deluge of messages, often abusive and threatening, from either real or sock puppet types. It's a question of to what extent he encourages it, either explicitly or implicitly. Blocking is fine for a handful of roasters, but I assume becomes a lot more tricky when someone gets 600 messages from users. It's probably good news for his crowd funding campaign. I'm sure the gimpy moron types like Todders will lap his shtick up even more after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Rather than individually blocking I'm sure there is a way of only accepting notifications from those you follow or who follow you. That wouldn't really do for attention junkies though as it robs them of their drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Campbell's problem is that he's extremely prone to punching down, and has a serious cognitive dissonance issue when it comes to his own power - he's quite happy to boast about his readership numbers or fundraising figures one minute and to play the poor wee scrappy upstart the next. When you've got a base of several thousand highly-wound-up and not dreadfully well-educated followers hanging on your every word you do have an implied duty not to point them at soft targets. He doesn't seem to have any problem recognising this when it refers to the followers of the billionaire wizard book woman. That said, that Express hack was quite obviously running with a script from the minute he ran his article, and I did think that on this occasion Stuart behaved himself very well. And yes, using your position as a newspaper writer to literally tell the country's fascists to literally arm up and prepare for war is something that warrants people using their big platforms to oppose.

NotThePars Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 She was at it in ATF's Facebook comments claiming it was a news story rather than an opinion piece and she was shot down there as well for talking nonsense. I mean if A Thousand Flowers won't take your side against Wings then you've probably fucked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as Campbell is he'll not come close to the combined weight of the terrible lying and misleading headline editors and journo's on the other side of the political divide.

I think what we should be thankful for is that our wrong 'uns at least face criticism and are called out on their shit. Look at the slagging Wings has taken for his repeated Yer Da musings on Chelsea Manning and contrast it with the white knighting for Stephen Daisley and his ilk. At least we're more willing to challenge those on "our" side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise the other side were willing to challenge those on their side, you just need to look at how Rowling using her wealth and position to bully others is portrayed across the msm to see what we're up against, can't believe that someone with her wealth can't do something more productive and helpful with her time.

ScotSquid Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yes, she could for example donate millions to universities for medical research for example. Oh wait. She does. You can criticise Rowling for many things but not using her wealth for philanthropic purposes isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never mentioned what she did or didn't do with her money, if I give a few quid to someone it takes next to no effort whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotSquid Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Right, so she herself should be trying to cure cancer , rather than just donating millions to allow those qualified to do so? What exactly is your issue with JK Rowling? That she uses Twitter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
