Any examples? These 'tweet messages'. Any examples?


Please delete if against forum rules - 

One of McCanns Tapas friends, the one accused of paedophilia said same thing ...and added that Madeleine  was great fun...McCanns and their friends are all weirdos!!! #mccann


When  were they accused of Paedophilia?   This person twists everything and lies to suit what she wants out there.

All the people who say Madeleine died on the Sunday would be in the 'Nutty' box too.

I take it lines 2 and 3 is the tweet message and the rest is your reading of the situation?
Is there a distinction between wrong and nutty? Or are all wrong tweet messages default nutty?

Is that one who kept on and on about Gerry being a free mason still tweeting, or has he bored himself to death yet? #hereshoping

I think where the mental illness comes into it is less in the content of an individual tweet taken out of context but the repetition of propaganda themes and tropes, posted numerous times a day,  day in day out for years and years, to the exclusion of any other subject.  I'm sure there are numerous twitter accounts I could point you in the direction of if you're genuinely interested.

What you describe is a technique not exclusive to twitter.  I think it is apparent throughout the internet wherever Madeleine McCann's name is mentioned.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

It begs the question - is the continual, daily expression online of hatred of specific celebrities or people in the news, spreading propaganda and lies (such as photoshopped pics etc) about individuals on a very regular basis and trolling generally a mental illness or at least a symptom of one?

I think it is worth giving the situation some serious thought.

In the main, no. It's a 21st century version of Angry from Wealdstone, except it's infinitely more accessible. Was Angry from Wealdstone 'nutty', or just misguided / interested / frustrated / jealous / lacking other outlets? Probably. What's important to one is irrelevant to another.
There will be some total cranks interested in all manner of subjects, some of whom just have a pathological hatred of their chosen bete noire. For example, I hate Davros with an irrational disdain that's incalculable. He's my arch-nemesis; my itchy to his scratchy. Like those two dudes on Highlander, kicking each other's arses throughout time first with a rock or something, then with a tazer in a small flat above a Nisa store in Croyden.

Some people hate Gerry and Kate McCann - they're not all mad, not......all.......mad.......not.....all....m

No it's not like Angry from Wealdstone, unless you're suggesting that this 20th Century construct spent all day every day writing angry letters to the papers about some celebrity he hated, or daubed hateful grafftiti on the walls of the local pubs on a daily basis?  This is about regularity, about spending a large part of your day churning out online propaganda designed to influence others to suspect and / or despise people in the public eye.  Maybe the internet has simply helped turned Angry from Wealdstone into Hopping Mad from Wealdstone Mental Institution.    It's perfectly acceptable and even understandable to hate Gerry and Kate McCann but to spend such a lot of one's time and energy being hateful about them is not normal IMO.

It's their posts that are mad not them.  They have mad ideas.

It's all about access. Wealdstone man got fleeting gratification from one letter in 50 being published. Now he gets 50 tweets published automatically. Instant, unending gratification.

Which IMO is a symptom of a mental illness, a bit like an addiction to porn.

    &%%6 I am mightily impressed by that.

I haven't time to read this now ... Internet Addiction Disorder ... https://www.psycom.net/iadcriteria.html but there actually are recognised conditions.  Wonder if we will recognise any we suffer from?
