The abuse of sports people on social media is quite disgusting.
Recently, Will Carling was doing a nice thing where we was
getting rugby players to make short videos for peoples parents
and grandparents that were feeling lonely during their
isolation.
Mike Brown made a video for this. Some of the comments
underneath the video were shocking though. Carling called one
of the comments out and surprise, surprise, the tweet was
deleted PDQ.
But, I can't understand the mentality of someone who follows
people on Twitter just so that can hurl abuse.

TBH, I cant understand social media full stop. I use it to
follow various sports/teams as it is a good source of
information. Then begins to be spoilt by people with 17
followers who seem to think the rest of the world cares what
they have to say. Too many attn seeking, needy, self centered
folk out there desperate for some kind of social media loving.
Always amuses me when I hear someone mentioning how many
"friends" they have. **
** If someone can tick agree/like, I would be really grateful!!!

Sums it up for me.
Since this corona virus business started I have been persuaded
to join a local Facebook group and an extended family Whatsapp
thing.
I have never read so much drivel since I left the Infants class!

Seems odd people saying “ Don’t do social media” on here
A Forum/on line discussion is a form of social media, as long as
used responsibly can be good, yes there’s drivel etc.
But the abuse is without doubt is the worst parts
And one of the worst things about the 6 Nations is it brings out
some of the biggest culprits

Its not that I "dont do it". Like I said, I use it in some form
and think some of it is really good, in terms of being able to
keep up to date with Quins news etc. I count this forum as the
same sort of thing, yeah it has its moments but you do get some
really good/interesting stuff on here. Its all the nonsense I
dont get, the constant need for acceptance. Always makes me
chuckle when I read stories about benefit cheats etc caught out
due to postings they have made on their various SM platforms,
showing them water skiing , wrestling with tigers, all while
claiming not to be able to walk up stairs unaided!!

Social media, in terms of Facebook etc is essentially boring. I
don't think I've been on it for 6 months. At least in here we
generally b have a reasonable discussion on interesting subjects
connected with rugby and Quins specifically. Or we do while
there is rugby on.

I think you can remove "sports" from that sentence to be fair.

Very true. It bewilders me how people can spout venom and bile
at someone they've never met, simply because they don't agree
with an opinion.
I got roped into using Twitter for a business thing, and started
following a few people. Julia Hartley-Brewer, the Talk Radio
presenter being one. Not everyone's cup of tea, but that's the
mix of life. Each day she posts "Join me for my breakfast
show..." etc. Most days you get some idiotic response like "No
thanks you vile old hag", or MUCH worse. What's the point? When
these people go past a pub with a sign saying "Come in and watch
live sport", do they run inside and scream at the landlord "P***
off you ***!"?
Sadly, people sit behind keyboards and think they're being
witty, or cutting, or super smart... but come across as idiots.*
* Not on CAW of course - we're all charming, polite, and
intelligent. By the way, shouldn't there be a new "Gussy Out"
thread? We haven't won a game in ages...
