Slightly OT but...
The world of Twitter is a VERY strange place (and some Facebook groups, as it happens). When people aren't spending time making up fake accounts for players of their rival team(s), they are threatening to kill people, verbally abusing them, or talking to them in such a way that they wouldn't DREAM of doing in real life.
There was a BBC short looking at Twitter trolls the other week (I think it was presented by Mrs Wayne (Frankie from the Saturdays) Bridge) and she met some of these low-lifes face-to-face. It's fair to say they were embarrassed, ashamed and disgusted by their actions towards her, and others. I say 'good', because that kind of behaviour is horrible.
