    One benefit of acting like a **** on the internet from a young age is that you become

    hardened to abuse.

    It’s so funny seeing the incredulity of people on Twitter when you remain utterly unmoved by their attempts to get under your skin.

    On the other hand, you have to feel for people who aren’t accustomed to the rough and tumble of the internet and whose first experience of interacting online is Twitter.

    I may possibly have caused a stir on there this morning

    The thing that strikes me about the Jo Cox thing is that she was strongly anti-Corbyn, which means that a significant number of the Labour people who po-facedly wrung their hands and wagged their fingers when she was killed by some loon calling her a traitor would now either be happily calling her a traitor and sending her death and rape threats themselves on social media were she still alive - or vociferously denying it was happening or saying she deserved it. A small, but amusing irony.

    You liked the way you immediately countered with outright personal abuse. That's your AWIMB training showing right there alright.
