The creator of the World Wide Web has today declared that he officially “cannot be arsed” with the Internet anymore.
This comes after the revelation that people like Linda Blanston (name changed to protect her identity) friend of local glutton for punishment Karen Danczuk are still unable to grasp basic Internet security concepts. For example, hiding your facebook friends list and personal information before having an online barney with the editor of a local satirical news page.
Sir Tim said “It’s been 27 years, why are people still not anonymising themselves from total strangers before acting like a tit? Particularly if you’re in the limelight, or a distant friend of a moderately slightly almost well known person. They wonder why their houses get egged (we’re not encouraging anybody to egg Linda, don’t egg Linda, seriously really don’t egg Linda’s house).”
We asked our editor how the barney with “Linda” started and he told us “no idea, she started banging on about child abuse and Pakistanis on an article about a Somali/British Olympian winning Gold in the 10,000m and it just escalated from there. We even gave her in depth instructions on how to protect her identity online. There’s no helping some people.”
He added “The Rochdale Herald is a month old and if it had been around, wasn’t a satirical comedy project and employed journalists would have thrown its entire weight behind exposing child abuse in Rochdale, we’re against that sort of thing.”
Seriously don’t egg Linda.
