The scourge of Twitter

Post by Mr Wallstreet »

Drove Joss Whedon do delete his twitter account.

After the Avengers movie premiered, Whedon's twitter of account was indundated so many hate filled tweets that he deleted it.

I realize there are dicks on the internet but every so often the sheer level of trollery that it can attack you with just leaves me shaking my head and for something so trivial as a movie.

I dont think Whedon is a perfect director (I have yet to see Age of Ultron) but he seems like a nice enough guy and a competent enough individual that doesnt warrant that level personal vitriol.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.

As you were.

I agree, trolls ruin so many things. It's the whole "I'm anonymous while online" that makes people act worse than they normally would.

I wonder if we could get this to work with Tragic. I mean, this Hoosiers nonsense and Inkmaster livetweeting has to go.

I suspended my Twitter account because Ed saw Age of Ultron.

Hey! I was even trying to be considerate of the fact you didn't see it!
