Celebrity chef poll.

[joe-90]

There's been a thread going on in here about a celebrity chef (cook) who received a racist tweet on twitter and called the police.
In my opinion it was just a job for twitter to moderate their site and remove the offending tweet and the account of the tweeter.

Imamartian thinks there should be a full scale police investigation.

In my opinion the police would do better to investigate crime in the real world rather than insults on-line. What do you think?

I'd prefer to read MM's posts, they make more sense.

 

[joe-90]

Which bit don't you understand. Surely you can understand a simple question?

 

[RedHerring2]

As in the other post, you're unable to see the shades of grey in between.

Most of life is a continuum, not an either/or choice.

Perhaps it's just a question of wording but is this a 'Full Scale/Major Investigation' being launched Joe? All that I can find online in relation to this so far is a reference to the Met saying, 'The Metropolitan Police said last night that they were investigating a malicious communication.' Obviously the police are required to investigate when a crime may have been committed. We hear the police say they will be launching a Full Scale/Major investigation when a murder is committed, where someone is abducted, in the case of rape, indeed where any serious crime is committed, but whether 'this' is a Full Scale/Major investigation I'm not so sure.

They should tell her to contact twitter - and do nothing more. If you get your house burgled or car vandalised you get a crime number - no investigation whatsoever. Why should an insult get any more than that?

If you don't understand the question then why bother replying at all?

I said no such thing.

I disagree with you inasmuch as you said she should leave her job if she can't put up with being racially abused. I think she should be able to go to the police if she wishes...

Go and do a more accurate poll Joe

 

[joe-90]

6-0?

 

[RedHerring2]

6-0?

Is that because the people with an average or reasonable opinion don't have an average or reasonable choice in your pathetic poll?

 

[joe-90]

If you don't like the thread - you know where the door is.

 

[RedHerring2]

If you don't like the thread - you know where the door is.

Oh, I see, the questions in the poll should have been:
1. Do you agree with me?

 

[joe-90]

The questions are quite clear. If you can't understand them ask your mum to explain.

 

[RedHerring2]

It seems your understanding of my point is a bit like your ego, misplaced!

I said that there is not a reasonable response available for me to participate in your poll, therefore it's pathetic.

You, on the other hand, suggested I should not participate at all in the discussion if I could not respond to your poll.
I read that as "agree with me or don't participate"

 

[joe-90]

Either it's a job for twitter or a job for the police. Why can't you say which? Do you need a third option that says "I'd rather dither?"
