OT - Former player replies well to online abuser

Thought this may be of interest. This guy has lived so much of his life under a spotlight. I love how his response and Gloucester's response rise above the abusive uniformed poster.

The follow up is that Parry did apologise for his initial tweet. Stupid man.

So this Parry guy is a sporting journo apparently, yet he refers to Cips as a "Failed rugby playing little bum". Not the most knowledgeable of chaps in his line of work is he???

Yes! If Cips is a failed rugby player then there aren't many successful ones!

Mike Parry is a football reporter.  As with most on Talk Sport, the sum total of his knowledge of sports other than football would probably fit on the back of a postage stamp with room to spare.

A log of people seem to use Twitter to make nasty comments, usually using a nickname. It’s about time Twitter decided it had some responsibility to bar the nasty twitters.

Talksport, on the few occasions I've listened to it, seems to operate on the basis of talking a load of nonsense to attract callers, many of whom reciprocate with nonsense of their own.

Really, it has the gravitas and insight of someone drunk out of his mind, standing in the street in his underpants and howling at the moon.
