Nope, I have no problem admitting that I'm an arsehole IRL and OTI.

You've managed to monetise your arseholery; to the benefit of all of us.

However you and the eternally patient Birdie have made me think, you cunts.

I think the core issue here is context.
You wouldn't (I assume) have told your Batman shooting joke at a memorial service for the victims; however when you tweet it out, it gets retweeted and someone at the service reads it, gets hurt, and fights back; and this is where the "Internet is Real Life" argument breaks down.

I wouldn't scream out "OPEN YOUR EYES YOU BLIND FUCKING CUNT" in an office, but if I'm at a football game, it's fine.

When I tweet/post stuff, everyone reads it in different environments, and without the environment of the person tweeting. They react, and the shit hits the fan, and people lose their jobs etc.

Obviously, saying "I'm gonna rape your kid" is a tough one to contextualise, though...

I'd just like people to not be sooo fucking sensitive.
