might be the most inspiring thing I read all week

just a short excerpt
QuoteMy daughter comes to me beyond upset. She didn't do anything, she never said anything, yet she's now receiving personal messages with guys saying things to her, well let's just say I can't repeat and I'm getting beyond angry thinking about it. Her boyfriend, a wicked good hockey player who has a fighting streak I absolutely love is going out of his mind to be let off his leash but unlike the athletes tweeting this stuff he understands the potential consequences of his actions and knows the time and place will hopefully come when he can make it right on his own terms.
These boys have yet to understand one of life's most important lessons. In the real world you get held accountable for the things you say and if you are not careful that can mean some different things.
Anyone ever see this? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWcqoPAYR6o)
How on earth do you guys know who's on the other end? What they're thinking?
This is a generation of kids who have grown up behind the monitor and keyboard. The real world has consequences when you do and say things about others. We're at a point now where you better be sure who you're going after.
If I was a deranged protective dad I could have been face to face with any of these people in less than 4 hours. I know every one of their names, their parents, where they go to school, what they do, what team they are on, their positions, stats, all of it. I had to do almost nothing to get ANY of that information because it is all public.
What part of talking about a young woman, my daughter or not, makes you even consider the possibility that this is either funny or makes you tough?
I found it rather funny at how quickly tone changed when I heard via email from a few athletes who'd been suspended by their coaches. Gone was the tough guy tweeter, replaced by the "I'm so sorry apology used by those only sorry because they got caught.
It was EXACTLY like the Scared Straight episodes you watch where "tough" kids get brought to tears when they face the real world.
What these kids are failing to realize, what this generation fails to realize is this; Everything they've just said and done? That is out there now, forever. It can, and in some cases will, follow them for the rest of their lives.
There's sooooooo much more. He completely outs the basement-pajama-people and names names. And he should, for the way they treated his daughter.
Wow that's really messed up. Give 'em hell, Curt!
Good for him outing the scumbags. And they're learning about real world consequences:

Thank goodness common sense still exists to an extent out there.
Some of those comments are truly vile and disgusting.
Wow. Just, wow. Typical little spoiled white shitheads thinking they can say and do anything they want. I'm SO happy the Internet is getting back at them, and very impressed with Curt by releasing some of those tweets to the 'internet sleuths' out there, LOL. Awesome.
He should have sent Jay & Silent Bob after them all!
