Apparently during the baftas a transgender gag was dropped that caused outrage. And yet the more obvious racist joke was missed. Not that either were bad, but it is crazy what is and isn't allowed these days!

I think Twitter has been ruined by stalkers and trolls. I can see why Fry has done it and he isn't the first

Yup... Stalkers, Trolls, and people cluttering up timelines constantly asking celebrities for retweets......

There was a time when Twitter seemed new and fresh and fun. It's no longer that place and just feels a bit of a free for all with far too many eejits spouting off and being offensive.

Half the trouble is that it generates interest in the tiny lives that people have these days.
If people paid no attention to the twitters or the newspaper columns reporting it then it would go away.
Take this thread for instance, not that I'm suggesting anybody on here has a tiny life, an absolute nothing story and yet already over 25 posts on it, and this is a golf forum!

Yeah, it`s almost as if people look for something in the press/online etc, and then can`t wait to post it on here looking to get a rise/argument started or be "professionally offended"!

Not knowing the difference between Facebook and Twitter ( and I don't want to know), but when Kanye west is asking Mark Zuckerberg for a billion dollars so he can " carry out his ideas. Would it not of been advisable to ask him on face book and not Twitter.

I have Facebook, which is a family thing with photos of grandkids and the like. I might visit it a couple of times a week. Twitter? What's that?

I like Twitter,good to follow your favourite golfers & other celebs.
If you don't like someone or don't like what they tweet,just don't follow them.
It's that simple.

Me too. I also use twitter to help me with tips for my job and also as a school governor. I've hosted a few twitter chats, there's some really useful stuff out there for free, silly not to really.
