[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1509472, member: 623415"] I’m not on Twitter, so don’t know the ins and outs about how easy it is to “unfollow” or tweeting at players, but it seems to me that if someone is tweeting at someone else they want them reading it. And is 4 word response “focusing on.” I have to say I’m in Brandon Wildman and Trent’s corner on this one. I try to stay fairly positive on here, and for that reason I normally don’t post on here after a loss. And some of the things posted on here I find over the top and just want to respond “get a life..” And I have to assume that it is far worse on Twitter. Too much vile behavior seems to be deemed OK because someone is a rabid fan. If a player is coming on to this forum and engaging with negative posters, I would say that is too much for a player as really is engaging with negative tweets, but to think a player doesn’t see negative things tweeted at him or about him is silly. As an Illini fan I’m much more concerned with being lumped in with “fans” that spew negative cr&p and as far as I’m concerned embarrass Illini Nation than I am about a player throwing 4 words of support to someone who comments on the over the top negativity and more of these so called fans. Now get off my lawn. [/QUOTE]
