Millions on Twitter. Why bother.

Lots of losers in this world.

People who build celebrity for themselves and use it destructively shouldn't be able to hide behind a shield of anonymity (within some degree of reason).

Maybe she's doing that, but from what HuffPo has (and I assume they're only using the worst shite), she's no different than any other Trump-era twitter warrior who reposts stupid, borderline racist shite.


Generally, I agree- like Salmon says, I don’t care to track down anyone on this board. While I don’t particularly respect several, i can’t imagine tracking someone down and ruining their life over a meme. There’s no need for that.

When you cross over to dozens of tweets a day to your 200,000+ followers, NYT interviews, etc... and have a section on your website that “exposes” people for being Muslim supporters — and you barely attempt to remain anonymous (utilizing most of your name and referencing articles with your full name for instance) it’s less shocking of a story to see her outted.

It’s one of those dicey spots in our new society. Where does the right to online anonymity end? Does your stature change that? Content? Does it matter whether you’ve actually attempted to legitimately remain anonymous?

I don’t know enough here and haven’t thought about it enough to have a deep conviction. It doesn’t feel right that the husband was fired... but when the husbands company has big middle eastern contracts and the owner has a major political appointment- does the family need to consider that before she becomes a full time online commentator publicly fighting Islam (etc...)?

One spot that’s surprised me is Kellyannes husband tweeting anti trump without repurcussions. I’ll give trump some credit for granting that leeway to her, and letting her be judged on her own merit.

So we shouldn’t be surprised if O’Brien’s relatives are outed online as well. It would be fitting, after all.

I have far more anger toward the gleeful hatred and dishonesty of the writer/doxxer than I do sympathy for the Twitter lady.

The husband stuff had zero business being in the article.

Write about her if you must but let his employer deal with it in private.

Are we supposed to be angry about lying bigots getting light shined on them? Or a private entity firing someone who's married to the crazy bitch? Sorry, that's not how it works

If he was a poor performer at work, or acted inappropriate towards any of his co-workers then fire away. If he’s never displayed any inappropriate behavior and was a good worker why should he get fired because of his wife. Work life should be separate from politics on both ends, and honestly one of the most frustrating things today is corporations feeling the need to take a side on social issues because it’ll offend way too many people on either side. Just sell a product or service and let that be the end of it.

I doubt few would disagree with that premise but it isn't reality any longer.

The guy was literally working with Muslims everyday. It would have been ludicrous for the WWE to keep him on. His problem is his wife, not anybody else.

She flat-out stated that her husband’s views differed from hers.
That wasn’t this author’s call to make.

hell i try my best to avoid even commenting on youtube videos nowadays. even the light hearted joking comments get responded to with rage.



I was thinking about this mindset last night during the previews when I went to Deadpool 2. They were previewing the next Purge sequel and I started wondering how far from that we are. I also think Hollywood, funded by certain groups, is at work psyops wise conditioning the American people for something like Purge.

Crazy right?

The question isn’t whether the WWE had the right to fire her husband.

It is why the need of the author to call them multiple times until they fire him, and then report it?

For all we know the husband could have hated what his wife did on Twitter.

I know my wife hates it when she sees me posting here

The problem is that the WWE's views differed from hers, and her husband became a liability to them because of her

They probably thanked the writer

I don’t give a shite that the WWE fired her husband. They have that right.
