MLB: Curt Schilling goes off

Social media is the worst thing to happen to society. We were a better world without it.

I wouldn't say it is the worst thing. It has a lot of good attributes. Keeping up on current events, interacting with people from around the world, being able to keep up with Friends and Families. The bad part is it allows the D-bags of the world to be amplified. I would think that D-Bags are the worst things to happen to society.
 
Brings up two points that too many people don't get:

Everything they’ve just said and done? That is out there now, forever. It can, and in some cases will, follow them for the rest of their lives.

Not one of these gutless clowns would even think of saying a word of ANY of this in person.

Can't believe the vile stuff those idiots tweeted. Sickening.

Social media is a tool. Depending on whose hands it's in, it can be used to build something valuable, or cut your fingers off.

We would be a better world without it for sure. Facebook, Twitter, Ect....it all needs to go away

What about CycloneFanatic? It is a social media of sorts. Social Media is an important tool in the world today. There so many good things that come with it. Are there issues? OF COURSE! Just like anything. The good that comes out of this is that Curt has called them out. The world knows their names. Employers will search the history and they will be blackballed, which they deserve.
 
Social media didn't form these people into dbags, it just gave them a platform to think they're funny.
 
I like Curt. I know he is a target of those who seek mob indignation. My biggest annoyance of social media is not the active attacks and vitriol so much as the more passive trend where facebook folks will jump on and believe some 140 letter (or less) tweet about someone and their sanctimony is satisfied for the day. Oh well....I guess the Romans were exercising PR on the masses with statues and circuses and we just have a different mode of mob mind management now. Weird to think that there is in an entire industry out there documenting this very post and every electron being broadcast.
 
Holy ****. Word cannot describe how bad those 2 people are. I hope their schools/employers got hold of those tweets.

Let's get these ******* Romans! Who's with me?
 
As a yankees fan, I have never hated Curt Schilling, even though he killed the Yankees too many times.

On the topic of CF, there are idiots here (myself at times) that post stupid ****. The major difference is that there are mods here who will ban anyone who posts one thing like what was in the article. On twitter or facebook, there are mods, but they usually don't give a **** or act like what Curt was saying. The mods there will just say "lighten up" or "they're messing around".

As a target of cyberbullying in the past, I was pretty mad when the social media site that it was on was encouraging her. It is what it is, I was powerless and just had to shrug it off. Until authorities give more of a **** about this, you will hear more and more of childish behavior like this happening.

The fact, like Curt said, they wouldn't say anything to your face and would likely act courteous to you, means they are complete and total ******* that hide behind their phone/computer.

I've said stupid stuff on here, but I've never personally insulted a member on the team or a coach. It's an obvious line behind criticizing someone of losing games, and personally insulting someone.

I've never understood why people decide to do **** like that. Whatever helps them sleep at night. There's a good thing called karma that kicks your *** after stuff like that.

Sorry for the long post.
