Twitter wars

Sometime ago, when MM Lee published his book on "Hard Truths", selling his first 60 copies of this autographed books at $10,000, with all proceeds to charity. (no joke $10,000! come on la. even if PAP govt give you GST credits every year for the rest of your life, also not even $10,000 right?)

And of course, there would be people willing to buy the book, for MM Lee's autograph, and also for the notion of doing charity. Doing charity is a good thing, which i have no qualms about. But just so happens that one such fella (Who goes by the name of Cheo), after buying the book, had to comment about MM Lee being the Nelson Mendela of Singapore. Come on la, this was how Sang Nila Utama mistakenly saw the Tiger as a Lion when he founded Temasek. (See: http://therealfakentu.blogspot.com/2011/01/once-upon-time.html )

And when you have a itchy mouth, this is what happens:

What goes below is the twitter exchange (selected) between the person who bought the book @Bossming, and the person who made the above insult @Rocksontan

@bossming to @rocksontan: I figure who the fuck are u is a bigger question? Oh wait nobody gives a fuck. So don’t bother answering.

Rocksontan continued at around noon time again:

@rocksontan's tweet: Lawrence just told me the cheebyekia who say LKY is like Mandela is from a company call Muffnang. Sell cheebye one ah?

@bossming to @rocksontan : it seems there is only one person selling cheebye here. and we know thats you. time to upgrade and sell lampa, naenae, etc.

@bossming to @rocksontan: especially since it seems your vocab is limited to hokkien vulgarities. There there, don’t cry, lets go back to your childhood.


@Bossming to @rocksontan: like perhaps why hiding behind a moniker and your hokkien vulgarities actually make you feel better.


@bossming to @rocksontan: WOW dedicated a channel to me ah. I dedicate one to you also! Nah lovebird #rocksontanlikescheebye




bossming tweets: playing with anonymous freaks is quite invigorating. i really understand now why xiaxue enjoys doing it so much.


bossming tweets: #WaysrocksontanisNOTlikemandela hoping that his expert use of hokkien vulgarities will not have a lawsuit ringing up his corner.

bossming tweets: #WaysrocksontanisNOTlikemandela one was and is an inspiration and hope to so many. the other a joke.
.
Then, @bossming started to threaten Rocksontan:

 There's your @bossming

@bossming to @rocksontan: a little birdy told me you live in bukit batok. since you don’t want to meet me online, I will wait everyday at 5pm with a rose

@bossming to @rocksontan: at the mrt station. Drop your moniker boy. It brings you more trouble than you know.
@Bossming to @rocksontan: #WaysLKYislikeMandela Mandela go jail, LKY put you in jail #cheomingshen
 @bossming to @rocksontan: correction. LKY puts slanderous fools like you in jail #WaysLKYislikeMandela

(and oh, did we mention that @bossming was an graduate at London School of Economics, in Economics and Political Science, and also a YPAP member?)


Which brings us to today's topic:
Just a few days ago, I received an email notification from Twitter saying that a @therealfakeSMU is now following my tweets.

and whoa?

Taken aback by the new challenger, @fakeSMU attacked back:

 

Refusing to give the new comer any publicity, @fakeSMU refused to mention @therealfakeSMU to his followers:

While bystanders applauded the new rivary:

@thereakfakeSMU tried a low blow:

All in all, @fakeSMU refused to mention @therealfakeSMU at all, cutting off his publicity:

while all along while continuing being ignorant to the rest of the twitter world (Have you noticed? @fakeSMU is following the least number of people.)

So what do you feel about Twitter wars? Did @bossming win @rocksontan? Is @therealfakeSMU going to pwn @fakeSMU?  Let us know through a comment below!
