The point of the matter is people had made a huge issue out of this and it’s extremely pathetic. The press want to control us with the crap they publish and many people like to go crazy over an issue until they’ve moved onto some other shit the very next day.

This planet is so chaotic. It’s unbelievable.

Entering into conversation with some of the so called ‘web celebs’ doesn’t really lead to answers – more often than not, just a torrent of abuse.

Indeed, that is true – but that is how life is. For example, say Rileyy_69 went for a job interview (highly unlikely, but just imagine!), they wouldn’t ask why he behaved like an idiot, they’d just draw a conclusion and not employ him.

Same when you meet friends of friends. If you think they’re acting obnoxiously, you don’t ask them why they are behaving in such a way. You just end up thinking / saying to one of your other friends “wow, that guy is a total ….”.

People draw conclusions all the time – its part of being human – first impressions being a classic example of this.

Indeed, his father has confirmed that Rileyy_69 lives with ADHD. However, I think its very bad to tar all people living with ADHD and say that his behaviour is down to this.

Personally, I know a few people with ADHD – and they don’t act in that way whatsoever.

They could possibly be being very stupid – however, it could be an incredibly (unintentionally) shrewd move should any success come of it :).

If you want to know why that person was rude on Twitter you might want to ask him himself. We are never going to understand everyone’s behaviour and unless you ask them, you’re concluding yourself like others that I’m sure have heard about that user on Twitter.

To answer your question bluntly David, the real answer is because some people are just stupid idiotic, ignorant and unintelligent. I think that user on Twitter you were referring to may have some disabilities that influence his character and attitude, but at least it gives the press something to write about and people to #hashtag #like #crazy #over.
