He's very likely a sociopath or psychopath. And yes, it's probably best just to forget about him and move on. I guess I shouldn't really have brought it up here. Still, watching the MSM witch-hunt unfold is still fascinating, in a morbid kind of way.

Why shouldn't you have brought it up here?

I, for one, am thankful you did as I love any opportunity to kick back and say "I told you so".



EDIT: It doesn't happen nearly often enough for my liking.

Witch hunt is a good description. I don't disagree that what he wrote was sick, but this story has been pushed by the mainstream and follows hot on the trail of several similar stories.

The parents of the teenager who posted a message about the diver at the Olympics letting down his dad said that their son had pyschological issues. Has anyone here ever posted some nasty comment in the heat of the moment or when under the influence of something other than water? I thought not. There's only angels on this forum.

The goal posts were widened considerably following the outrage about the diver's father comment. Where is this going to end?

Thank you Anthony...credit where it's due.

It's fairly obvious where 'this story' is going to end, I reckon.

Well, the comments caused a shitstorm on Twitter and FB before the MSM picked it up. I do think it's a case of the MSM jumping on the bandwagon to push their own agenda rather than them initiating it on this occasion. It was brought to my attention by people I know who had seen this idiot's previous attempt to grab some publicity (see the article posted by WUB), long before it appeared on any MSM outlet.

The guy is just a shithead who should be ignored and left for karma to deal with him. Unfortunately this thing is now gathering momentum and we all know which way it's going to go.

They're a many-to-many format, not a one-to-many format (which is what I understand by the term MSM anyway and I'm sure it's what most other people mean too).

Pretty humourless, but can't say I'm offended tbh.

As for those who claim Barlow and those like him are "human", I think they turned their back on humanity, "the rest of us" when they accepted an OBE on their knees infront of a despot, you might consider this evolution/natural selection, i don't think the world needs more Gary Barlows, in the grand scheme of things it's a small loss.

I think it shows even the most greedy, selfish minded individual can experience loss when it's on their own doorstep, but they seem not to care not for the collective loss everyone suffers from their personal actions.
Gary Barlow's OBE is no problem despite tax avoidance claims, says Downing Street
Downing Street has stood by a decision to give Take That singer Gary Barlow an OBE, days before it emerged that he and other members of his pop band invested at least £26million in a scheme that potentially avoided tax.

In the OP you hear this talk of Karmic repurcussions against the tweeter, what about your karma for invoking karma against him for adding to Gary Barlow's bad karma, do you think you get good karma for invoking the laws of karma in retribution?..What's any of it got to do with you anyway?

just saying.

Karma does what it does, regardless of anyone "invoking" it.

What's my motives in posting got to do with you anyway?

Just sayin'.

The person in question could be a character from the novel Less Than Zero:

Your right gilly it's like many people are unsure of themselves.

A one stage it was the Me generation, Me, Me, Me. I want what I want and I want it NOW! That's being going on for the last 20 years.

A sense of self entitlement, which I think leads to no respect and easy manipulation by the MSM and the internet combine that with the foods we eat which is rubbish and it's not surprising people dont care for their fellow man/woman.

It's not all bad of course, not everyone is like that. thank god!
