    Well, I take it you didn't see the naked photo of Nell McCafferty which those bastards in the Irish Times printed, without warning, on page 9 of an issue some years ago. Turned over from page 7 while eating my lunch and nearly spat it all over the table.

    I would like to know why is that every time I see a warning or set of negative comments about a picture in that link I still proceed to click the link anyway and spend the rest of the day or series of days wishing I didn't? :o

    The Dublin Airport cap is damaging the economy of Ireland as a whole, and must be scrapped forthwith.

    Mr. Waters doesn't like people saying mean things about him? One way to curb that is to stop being an ass!

    He wants to shutdown a service that has over 140 million users because of probably less than 100 users? It's not as if the tweets he didn't like are sent to his inbox, he has to search them out. Which is even more difficult to do because (AFAIK) he isn't a registered user.

    What about twitters like these? People mobilised to clean up London after the riots in 2011. And that's just the most obvious example I can think of, there are plenty more examples if you go looking.
    Ah yes, but you are looking at what's on Twitter - John Waters seems to think that the less he knows of something, the better off he is to sermonise on it.
    And the suggestion that people who don't use pseudonyms will be more civil/courteous is a nonsense. Unless twitter verifies every user, how would anyone know that a user is who they claim to be?
    Publishing under his own name certainly didn't stop Waters making the comment about shutting Twitter down and burning the owners' body in oil!
    Mr. Waters just seemed like the following in my head after reading his article.
    Back in the 1990s he had a bit of a bee in his bonnet about mobile phones (he was agin' them of course). I happened to read a piece a while back where he mentioned the Dundrum shopping centre and, in passing, his mobile phone. So he'll probably get on Twitter in about 15-20 years (assuming it's still operating).

    He does have an internet presence - at http://www.johnwaters.ie/ - the site doesn't seem to be updated very often - the copyright date is 2008 and the articles page doesn't have any articles - just a link to the Irish Times, but it's an old domain, not their current one.

    A blogger (Mr. Waters' favourite kind of person) has estimated the worth of the most recent article:

    Hmmm. That does provide an explanation to why the Irish Times keeps printing his nonsense.

    I wonder will we ever feature in a John Waterboarding article? Or has boards.ie already fallen under the dour gaze of Ireland's leading voice in the moral crusade against people being rude on the internet?

    Don't know if this will work for you, but I find that people who have myopia have a distinct advantage on recovering from traumatic pictures on the internet.
    Step one : Remove all optical aids.
    Step two : Wash face with cold water.
    Step three : View traumatic picture.
    Step four : Repeat step two and dry face.

    With any luck the image that's now stuck in your head will be as blurred as your uncorrected vision so it will be far less traumatising. :)

    I hate to disappoint the young men here, but when you hit John Waters' age you are very likely to end up looking much the same, sans vetements :D

    (Minus the pose and the straggly hair, though.)

    Untrue. This is untrue.

    You young men, unless similarly disadvantaged by having a face like a badly beaten and half-drowned goat, will only put on the belly. And not that, if you do manual labour into your 50's. It's cool....you can avoid that look if you want!
