When will people realise that to send a tweet or text in the heat of the moment can cause distress.

Tom Daley has had to put up with tweets from an individual regarding his failure to get a medal yesterday, he is now being investigated.

Being rude and uncouth is not against the law.
There are laws to protect people against racist, homophobic abuse etc.and harassment.

JessM In this case, the police arrested the perpetrator for harassment. Stupid boy.

Thinking about the tendency to send unsuitable and offensive messages while under the influence of alcohol, before texting became so popular and before Twitter even existed, we had a family saying, "Don't drink and dial".
