Therein lies the difficulty certainly in my understanding because FB & Twitter are foreign to me so I cannot successfully put myself in the receivers' positions. Certainly personal abuse & threats of violence are outrageous and its a great shame that the perpertrators cannot be made to account for their actions.

I don't agree with anyone getting abuse via social media and I don'y really understand noseybook and twa tter but surely these people can be blocked from said recipients accounts?and judged by some posts I can see this thread being used as a stick to beat pivac with,if some morons are dull enough to believe the comments are aimed at scott and aled then they are probably too thick to reason with anyway.

That seems a pretty good summary. I don't use the social media in question, but anyone who abuses players, or their families, is definitely beyond the pale. Criticism of how they play (within reason, of course) is another matter. It seems definitely time to lock this unproductive thread, as Wil suggested.

I'd agree with most of that, and of course posts were reported and posters blocked...although one person reincarnated themselves half a dozen times...such is the way of it.
My first post is clear about what I thought on the event, not the intention to cause harm, and borne out of some frustration, nevertheless perhaps a little un-wise. |

I, too, have not read the malicious posts on social media. To look on the bright side here, we can truly claim to be applying that tenet of Nietzsche's, which goes: "Wisdom sets limits even to knowledge" (in other words, there are some things it's better NOT to know). For one's sanity, I think there's a lot of truth in that!

I would hope the person recreating themselves and continuing to be abusive has been passed to the police to deal with, I’m sure they have new powers over that type of offence and the more often those powers are used the less occurrences we should see if the offence. |

The only way to beat moronic social media bullies who have no real association with club is to stand tall chest out and belt out Soapan Fach the words of which will be alian to them

Oh for a discussion based solely on facts. The drama I see is people’s reaction to Pivac’s statement on player contract negotiations. Unwise to vent his frustrations in public in my opinion but how this results in people feeling they have the right to start abusing others, online or not, and others no longer attending is beyond my understanding. Nice to see you forum holiday is at an end, by the way. |

Social media is the internets very own cancer. I hate it, even though everyone my age is all over it, I see almost no benefit to it given that anonymity makes people say terrible things, as well as allowing people who have no real care in the matter wind others up. aka the troll.

Wil. I do have a Facebook account, but use it infrequently, usually only to share articles of mutual interest with a few "friends". As for Twitter -it's the medium Trump (who has never read a book) uses and I can't really see where it would fit into any reasoned, detailed argument, so I've never bothered. So you are right, I've never experienced any abuse or threats in these media, although I have in real life and by e-mail, and can't really see what's so special about these media that make me totally incapable of understanding what the "raft" of West Wales supporters have gone through and that would make them want to stop supporting the Scarlets. You're going to get nutters in the followers of every mass sport and in my view Wayne Pivac or other Scarlets' officials have done precious little to incite them and are undeserving of the response of the erstwhile ST holders..
