Curt Schilling is no friend to any open thinkers out there, as has well been documented.
Fuck with his family on Twitter, on the other hand, and I will be the first to congratulate Mr. Schilling for fucking your ass, your career, and your life up.
It all started with a perfectly acceptable congratulatory tweet to his daughter for making the softball team...
Congrats to Gabby Schilling who will pitch for the Salve Regina Seahawks next year!!

Then, all Hell breaks loose, as the Internet Troll Community gets a hold of that, and does the utterly predictable. An image taken from the Deadspin report...
Well, let's just say Daddy Schilling didn't take too kindly to that...
He did some research, and outed several of the accounts.
One of them, The Sports Guru, was found to be as such:
"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?"
And another?
"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."
Personally, I think if we had any kind of student conduct left, they just wouldn't allow students full access to the Internet anymore.
They actually found one of them was a part-time seller of tickets for the Yankees. "Hollywood" WAS a part-timer seller. WAS. He was fired for these tweets.
The other guy apparently is facing school disciplinary actions beyond suspension, as he's already been suspended.
To wit I say: Good. About time we start getting some control of this bullshit.
I am no Curt Schilling fan. He's an asshole.
But sometimes you need to be an asshole. Especially true when we are dealing with idiots on the Internet.
Why? I point to a recent Kotaku article I picked up on which shows the extremes these trolls will go if left unchecked.
The article centers on a 16 year-old who basically specializes in the disruption of other people's lives by using the Internet and other mechanisms to discern the identity of certain parties thereon so he can eventually call the police to alert them to a (false) mass-murder, etc. situation so they will send the SWAT team at the target.
The almost-certain eventual goal? Their death, live on the Internet, in a hail of police gunfire.
I want you to read this shithead. I really want you to read the methodology and mindset of some of the people who populate this once-decent communication form and tell me that some of these motherfuckers shouldn't be locked up or shot outright!!!
I'm not even going to dignify this sub-human drivel by even posting it. You can see it on the article itself.
But if you don't think that I wouldn't endorse Curt Schilling going to "Hollywood"'s (new) home and kicking his face in, just read what goes on with some of these motherfuckers on the Net.
