Life Curt Schilling destroys Twitter trolls attacking his daughter - Page 4

Remind me to never, ever, ever, ever troll Curt Schilling.
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-bi...QyXzEEc2VjA3Nj
Here's the essay he wrote
https://38pitches.wordpress.com/2015...as-it-changed/

People have called ex-MLB star Curt Schilling a number of things — and they're not always good. But it's hard to deny his tenacity, whether on the mound or in one of the Twitter feuds he often finds himself in.

Sometimes Schilling gets himself in trouble by never backing down, even from the trolliest of trolls. In his most recent Twitter fight, though, Schilling dealt a KO to the out-of-line bros who'd been harassing him about his 17-year-old daughter.

It all started last week when Schilling congratulated his daughter, Gabby, for getting accepted into college and starting a softball career. A dad proud of his daughter ... that's benign enough, right? Well, no. Not in the say-anything-and-apologize-later world of 2015 social media.

What followed was a number of sexually suggestive tweets about Gabby fired off to her dad, some of them even implying rape and other horrible things. (You can see some of the Twitter taunts here, most of it isn't fit to post on The Stew). Schilling's blood boiled, as any father's would, and he jumped in the flame war, ignoring rule No. 1 of the Internet: Don't feed the trolls.

By Sunday, not only had Schilling fed the trolls, but he'd killed them, cooked them and eaten them. He penned a 1,700-word essay about the entire thing titled, "The world we live in…Man has it changed." He teased it on Twitter by saying "There are repercussions to your actions in the real world."

Then, his essay proceeded to balance out-for-blood dad with former pro athlete who knows just how crude guys can be. He called out two Twitter trolls in particular, saying exactly who they were in real life. Both have since deleted their Twitter accounts, the modern-day waving of the white flag. Schilling wrote:

[T]weets with the word rape, bloody underwear and pretty much every other vulgar and defiling word you could likely fathom began to follow. Now let me emphasize again. I was a jock my whole life. I played sports my whole life. Baseball since I was 5 until I retired at 41. I know clubhouses. I lived in a dorm. I get it. Guys will be guys. Guys will say dumb crap, often. But I can’t ever remember, drunk, in a clubhouse, with best friends, with anyone, ever speaking like this to someone…
“The Sports Guru”? Ya he’s a DJ named Adam Nagel (DJ is a bit strong since he’s on the air for 1 hour a week) on Brookdale Student Radio at Brookdale Community College. How do you think that place feels about this stud representing their school? You don’t think this isn’t going to be a nice compilation that will show up every single time this idiot is googled the rest of his life? What happens when a potential woman he’s after googles and reads this?
The other clown? He’s VP of the Theta Xi fraternity at Montclair State University. I gotta believe if Theta Xi is cool with a VP of one of their chapters acting like this I’d prefer to have no one I know in it. Also, does anyone attending Montclair State University have a student handbook? If so can you pass it along because I am pretty sure there are about 90 violations in this idiots tweets.
Schilling's essay continued, obviously, at great lengths, even calling out further trolls who challenged him after he published the piece Sunday. You could make the case that Schilling — who works as an analyst for ESPN and recently beat cancer — should just ignore the 140-character miscreants and you wouldn't be altogether wrong. The celebrity in a flame war very often has little to gain, even if he or she dominates like Schilling did here.

As Schilling will most likely tell you right now, this wasn't about him as a celebrity, a baseball player or a cable analyst. This was just a dad defending the honor of his daughter and taking the no-holds-barred approach.

Isn't Curt the guy that doesn't understand evolution and got someone suspended because of it?

So, you support people calling others out and taking matters to proper authorities when they make incredibly stupid, asinine, lewd posts that are criminally negligent?

"I heard Pedro has been eating her out. explains why he has long strands of pussy hair on his head."

"Curt, I'm going to **** your daughter in the ass so hard. Don't worry, I never text back the next day"

Ahem...

Did the kid ever get anything worse than a C after this rule was implemented? Not a chance.

I'm not saying it's morally right or wrong, but does it make the child because of it? Think about that for a second.

ha. Bufkin will never live that down as long as Sac is on this board. Really, the only part of the post that made me do a 'double take' was the "(and this was a big dude)" part.

I thank God every day for AOL Instant Messenger while I was in high school. I may have turned into Clay otherwise.

Hahaha.

It's true, man! You're around my age, right? AOL IM really took off when I was about 15. If I was 4 years older ... my god! I don't know if I EVER would've talked to a girl. I literally landed my first girlfriend ALL BECAUSE OF MY SICK AOL IM skills. It sounds pathetic, really. When this girl and I broke up 2 years later, I literally had like 5 hookups all because of AOL IM. Hell, I used to log on to her name and talk me up to girls on her buddy list and then (being her, by the way) tell them I was super ok with them going out with me. It was truly sick! But I was 18 and I didn't care!

She eventually changed her password after she figured out my shenanigans. That was a bad day for me.

Hootie · 03-02-2015, 07:36 PM

in fact, I HATE facebook and text messaging. They killed all of my favorite social media boards that dated before facebook like thedilly.com (amazing site) and JUST KILLED AOL AND INSTANT MESSENGER. Just ended it.

You can't get some cute girls phone number from a friend like you could with a username and text them and be like, "teeheehee you're cute let me put in in your butt." That's stalking. On AOL IM? That was the norm.

You brilliant bastard.

Signed,

A guy 4 years older than you

Hootie · 03-02-2015, 07:37 PM

and I'm 80% positive the exact line of "teeheehee let me put it in your butt" got me a handjob one time.

I'm 32 and agree 100%. MSN Messenger was primary for me, AIM was secondary. I even had a Yahoo Messenger account to mack on the chicks I'd meet a long ways away from home. Yahoo was the first one to have a quality webcam service on it... I got many girls to strip on camera with Yahoo Messenger. I even got girls that I would talk to on MSN Instant Messenger to create a Yahoo account for the sole purpose of adding me and getting naked for me.

I was freaking Fonzi on instant messenger services. Those services broke me in for talking to chicks in general.

Man...those were the days.
