"So, to stop the trolls, you are advocating violence? What if the guy in question had young children in the house when this was happening? Whilst i don't condone the trolls, i CERTAINLY don't condone violence as an answer! "My first thought was the same as yours...plus I was also thinking the boxer sounded like he had lost it for a while when he could have just easily blocked the troll from the outset. Then I thought...ah well...maybe that man won't troll anymore knowing he may get some stranger knocking on his door to frighten the life out of him. I then read what was said to be the tweets ( wether there was more I don't know so if anyone can point me to them I might change my next sentance) and they were not that bad to me. I would say if the boxer doesn't like anyone taking the piss out of him then he needs to use the block button more. | |||

" Trolls would soon stop if they knew that people could identify them." I totally agree with this bit....but I do still think trolls out to inflame would wither and die if no one gave them any airtime. @ cup of tea | |||

"I think a lot of people don't realise what an internet troll is. Basically, my understanding is that it is someone who deliberately posts frequent inflamitory remarks that are specifically designed to offend and needle the victim. The intention is to keep trolling away at them and make them more and more annoyed and irritated and never let up on it, picking holes in all their answers and setting up straw man arguments all the time that leave them on the constant defence. It's a form of intellectual bullying. I'm surprised the boxer got so sucked in by the troll given the agressive rivalry some boxers display with each other (probably for the camera I guess) - I guess he 'fed him' by responding to his comments and that meant he carried on. I've got mixed feelings about how he handled tracking this guy down and stuff as well. Either way, a boxer is one of the last people you want to piss off! "A troll definition is someone who posts inflammatry or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. This isn't be to be confused with someone who just happens to disagree with what someone has written be that once or a few times. I think you are right though, a lot of people get confused over the definition and shout troll at people for no reason at all ( on many sites ) Yep, I think it was the wrong move to piss a boxer off too

" Boxer guy would have tore him a new arse by saying his piece, doubt he'd have assaulted him. He'd lose his license. The guy looks a twat now though. #shithouse" Thats just what I was about to ask...would a boxer lose their licence if they had a fight outside of the ring. | |||

Its like those that do karate and all that they are not allowed to use it other than in the ring unless of course its deemed as in self defence.... | |||

"So, to stop the trolls, you are advocating violence? What if the guy in question had young children in the house when this was happening?" So it'd okay for the Troll to go ahead an abuse people via the internet without regard to the possible ramifications towards his family? What if the person being trolled had not be so controlled as the boxer? What if that person had, unknown to the troll, had an illegally owned firearm and brought it with him? Maybe the next 'personal visit' the troll should get ought to be from Social Services....  | |||

No, I called someone an idiot! (or similar, but not overly abusive ) I accept that as part of the "Fab way" but just thought it was odd that you seemed to be saying the boxer should have had a thicker skin! "Ah right, having looked at what you were banned for it isn't quite like what you said ( the mod has to paste the post for Admin to check ) Funnily enough I knew when I wrote the post that there would be someone along to twist it so I will explain. Fabswingers and Twitter are two different sites and work a different way. On Twitter so it seems....if someone is posting on your wall ( or whatever they call it ) then you can block them from doing that so you don't have to read it. I don't know if you can report any nasty posts on there but I am sure someone will know. I didn't actually say the man should have a thicker skin, I said if the posts bothered him he could have blocked the person. On Fab there are rules of what you can say and do. I don't make the rules. It wouldn't matter if I think people should have thick skins or not... I just enforce the rules Admin give. As always, if you want to dispute your ban the best way is to do it through the CONTACT button rather than the forum as you might fall foul of the forum rules. | |||

Violence, intimidation or even the threat of violence is a criminal offence, name calling isn't! "Most boxers I have met actually have a much higher level of self control than the average guy, but that's not really the point I was making. The guy who was trolling quite happily did so with his kids sleeping in the house. Did he give any concern about them when he went in for attacking someone to the extent that they came looking for him? I doubt it. I don't agree with settling things with violence either, but he got taught very effectively that if you are going to go in for belittling people, making nasty comments about them etc etc, there are CONSEQUENCES and the consequence 'could' have been that his kids got hurt too. The troll has - I hope - learned a lesson, but I hope his kids have learned a lesson about him too. And I doubt they will be too impressed with their Dad when they grow up and find out what an nasty, gutless piece of work his was. | |||

"Well lets just agree to disagree! You seem to think violence is the answer to a tweeter being called names, whereas i don't." Problem with that statement is there was no violence or even a threat of violence. That has just been your assumption, OK my cup of tea analogy was probably facetious, but who is to say the intention of finding the address wasn't to call the police and report the perpetrator for bullying and intimidation? As someone else pointed out once the street had been found and photographed he could easily of escalated it, if he was intending physical harm, but he did not do that. He just set out to prove that you are not as anonymous as you may think, which he proved admirably and with honour and no violence. Good result all round I would say, the boxer got satisfaction and the troll got the attention he craved. | |||

There was NO intimidation, there was NO threat of violence involved. As i've previously stated, i don't condone trolls at all. But surely, when your in the public eye, and use a social site like twitter, you MUST assume you are going to get the odd nutjob tweeting you! | |||
