Curt Schilling Doesn’t Understand the Internet

According to people who wish things that aren’t true were true, Curt Schilling just made Twitter safe again for the good people. Last week, Schilling congratulated his daughter on Twitter for getting into Salve Regina college in Rhode Island which I believe involves being Catholic and quietly wishing transgendered people to Hades. Several lonely guys who don’t like Curt Schilling very much took turns Tweeting nasty horrid shit about his teen daughter because that’s how the Internet works. Schilling wrote a piece about it on his blog. He has a blog.

In between a fight with Kevin Millar, congratulating Juan Pierre on a wonderful career (just hated facing him) and praying Josh Hamilton gets right, I started to see this sort of tweet.

And tweets with the word rape, bloody underwear and pretty much every other vulgar and defiling word you could likely fathom began to follow.

Schilling publicized the real identities of these false bravado Candy Crushers and got them fired from their jobs or suspended from their respective community colleges. Then he lamented how shitty people are today, which of course is completely false as people have always been shitty.

Here’s the real question — why the fuck are you congratulating your daughter on Twitter? You lost your big home in the last bankruptcy so I’m sure it’s not many steps to her bedroom to tell her in person.  If you want to be a dad with a social commentary blog and 7500 Tweets, just expect you’re making yourself and your family unnecessary targets. This isn’t your job or how you’re paying off your various settlements, this is your hobby and it’s getting creepy guys talking about your daughter’s bloody vagina. If you spoke to her in more than 140 characters, you might find she’d prefer you champion somebody else’s cause. Come back to us, Curt. Rhode Island has new money to lose again.
