Welcome, Anton Casey, to Social Media 101

[Confuseous]

2. Social media has been gamified – ‘friends’ are not friends

Guess what, Mr Casey thought that too, and was wrong. A good look at the screenshot of his offensive posts shows the sharing set to “friends” – perfectly typical for anyone’s “private” posts.

Someone in his ‘friends’ list took offense, and that’s not surprising if you’re a popular guy with lots of money and a wide social circle, as Mr Casey probably is. Anton Casey called it a “security breach” in his apology on the sgfuck forum. Ha! Security breach! In the way that “I left my wallet and phone on the table and went to the toilet” is a security breach.

Yep, his friend ratted him out. But the reality is that insufferable pricks like him don't really have friends that can't be bought with money.

I have four words for Mr Anton Casey... keeping it succinct.

Security breach my arse.

You look at his posts, you know he is a very typical low-class working class sort of Englishman. Many of them are like that, just simply shoot their mouth off. Their upper classes have a certain sense of decorum and dignity and know how to behave in society, what to say and what not to say in public.

In England where the class system still exists, Anton this sort of Englishman is very much looked down upon. His mannerisms, accent and his behaviour betrays him. Unfortunately when he comes to sinkieland, SPG's think Ang Mohs are all the same, top class and aristocratic. Poor Bernice, she married the English equivalent of an Ah Beng.

Aha! But what is important is the Englsh part, not the Ah beng part. LOL.

Someone mentioned Essex eh? He might be a West Ham supporter.

West Ham supporter? Sad and obnoxious. At least arsenal la. More classy.

The English word for such low-class folks is 'chav'. No amount of new-found wealth can erase the lack of upbringing and common etiquette in such people.

A more rowdy chav would be a 'yob'. These are the hooligans you see at EPL matches.

I honestly do not understand why we have produced a whole generation who have this inane desire to extend their real lives into cyberspace. The consequences have been laid bare for all to see in this episode and many others before and there will be more in the future.

My generation of internet pioneers had a simple guiding principle ... one persona for the real world, the other for cyberspace and NEVER MIX the two and NEVER reveal your internet persona to anyone.

Because you bunch started off on the pre-facebook era. Now is the Facebook era. Things change.

You don't have to reveal your real identity on facebook either. Facebook is just another means of interacting in cyberspace. I have more than one facebook account. None of them contain my real name and I never upload any photos of my day to day life. One of my facebook accounts is registered to my dog.

Are people so insecure nowadays that they have to seek validation of their sorry existence from strangers in order to make their lives meaningful?

 

[erection2015]

thats quite a clever thing to do......now you can post all sorts of crap and the dog will get the blame and be arrested by the cops.

2 of my dogs were marched away by the cops for the stuff I posted and I haven't seen them since. I'm now on my 3rd dog.

further to the analogy would be that he left a wad of money (ie the offending post) peeping from under his wallet and a pal of his noticed and thought it a tempting and blardy boastful act and told many passers-by to steal it (hence the pal took offense, perhaps to teach him a good lesson not to leave valuables around) and the rest is history...

money can't buy class but spg bernice didn't mind plus he was ang moh - but little did she know that it doesn't buy good genes.

Your dogs when to lim kopi with the ISD. Better ween them of caffeine when u get them back. Also, u might have to aircon your house, because they might have gotten used to the cold water in an aircon room torture.

We have been brought up in a climate of "fear" & have to watch what we say in public especially about a certain old fart.
Angmos on the other hand are freer to voice their mind.

Politics is only part of the equation. My persona on line is one of an obnoxious, racist, sexist, homophobic dickhead. If I used my real identity none of my ventures would ever have got off the ground.

My most talented graphic designer was gay and one of my best customers was an Indian. Both were delightful people I had a lot of time for. If they had read my on-line views about Gays and Ah Nehs, I would have lost both of them both as friends and as business associates.

All of us at some point in our lives have hammered away at the keyboard and then pressed "send" without thinking. Facebook is a loaded gun If you don't have your wits about you at all times, you can end up in serious trouble.
