Calling him a Canadian is not a harsh response, agreed.

Too bad an entire message board spamming him repeatedly doesn't really fit that description.


I see. He can write whatever he wants (and continues to) and we need to shut up.

It's called free speech. He can write whatever he wants regardless of what we do.

You don't need to do anything. Again, it's a free country. I just don't see the point in putting in all the effort to call him out on his identity crisis when he's clearly not receptive to it.

There are more important things in life. Again, no one is forcing you to look at his tweets.

Is this guy directly harming any of us? Are any of us being forced to read his tweets? No.

Yes, the guy is an idiot. No disputing that. My issue is that posters here are going out of their way to make fun of the guy and engage him on Twitter when he clearly has no desire to address the issue any further.

It started out as funny, now it's just excessive. Get a hobby for f's sake.


Caping
when you blindly defend someone, no matter how wrong they are.
In his argument with Vetta, Larry kept saying, "don't be mean to Susan."
"Why are you caping so hard for Susan, when you know she slapped my mom?" Vetta asks angrily.
"Because she's my friend." Larry said.

Mark Jones slapped your mom?

Are you the mother to Mark Jones?

What's next, calling him good looking and smart and getting blocked?

Being called a Canadian when you were born in Canada shouldn't be taken as an insult, unless you're insane.

Where did I claim calling him a Canadian was insulting?

A pursuit outside one's regular occupation engaged in especially for relaxation

Did you just admit that Internet harassment is your hobby?

It's his problem if being called a Canadian is offensive.

Agreed. Mark Jones is a public figure who chooses to be active on twitter and make some inflammatory comments towards Canada in the process. Then he has to accept blowback.

That's how social media works. If he doesn't like it, he can close his twitter account. He's no different than Donald Trump. If you get out there, you can expect both good and bad feedback.

It's free speech like you said so why are you being so subjective when it comes to people innocently trolling him. No one is taking out pitch forks. Look in the mirror dude lol, you need to chill out and not take life so seriously.

Exactly. Twitter is a public platform. Every time you tweet something, you should expect positive and negative reaction. If you can't handle the negative, you shouldn't be on twitter.

The craziest part is, he's offended by being called a Canadian. It's hilarious really.

I just don't understand the logic in taking time out of your day to access and respond to someone's tweets when you don't like what they have to say. I'm sorry you don't see why that's a pathetic way to spend your time.

You still seem to think it's reasonable to call that a hobby, however.

Harassment (/həˈræsmənt/ or /ˈhærəsmənt/) covers a wide range of behaviours of an offensive nature. It is commonly understood as behaviour which disturbs or upsets, and it is characteristically repetitive.

You willingly access his Twitter profile and look for things that might offend you. I respectfully disagree.
