Two rivals during the 19th century would stand out in an open field with pistols to duel in order to settle an argument. He who had the quickest draw and better aim would then shoot his opponent to the death.
In the 21st century we duel on Twitter. While no one is shot or killed during these trash-talking-hating-word duels; thought celebrities could learn a lesson or two about civility. Oh, how our Twitter-verse chat turns ugly in a hurry.
Months ago Dave Hester dashed into a mouth-off with Dan Dotson on Twitter. Darrell Sheets thought to step in and battle Hester the Pester as well. Did a clear winner arise? Well, Dan did have the last word and Dave disappeared, for a while.
You don’t need target practice to win a Twitter duel today. You need a quick wit and the ability to flip words to your favor.
The latest Twitter war happened between Darrell Sheets vs. Rene Nezhoda. What started this Twitter war? It began with a question about a bad review on Yelp for Rene’s thrift store by a Twitter user (whom I won’t reveal their name).
This user currently has only 3 followers and 9 tweets; sounds a bit suspicious, eh? To suddenly attack Rene out of the blue?
The attack started with the user’s second tweet aimed at Rene: “Porky…learn how to spell and I am not Darrell. Just asked you a legit question about yelp reviews.”
And away we go…
While the tweets a bit out of consecutive order, you get the gist. Now do keep in mind Darrell sent a tweet to stop the original unknown user to stop bullying Rene.
But both of the auction hunters fell into the trap of bash & trash tweet war. No clear winner here, but therapy sessions highly suggested.
What did you think of Darrell’s and Rene’s Twitter war?
