I can’t put words to blog post regarding the latest stunt. Just want to show what I got this evening which shows how it can be abused.
From Leo Varadkar’s email address addressing me as Lez (as in short for lesbian which is what I am by the way in case you are new to the blog but Lez is no term of endearment)
I know (and hope) Leo Varadkar didn’t send it but this is what is going to happen – people are going to be spammed and anything can be put in the name section so it can be abusive. I got one from Lucinda Creighton’s email address also.
And FG head office sent robot tweets out from countless candidates encouraging people use this stalker device and then deleted them but not before people took pictures for evidence. (Not the first time head office took over FG twitter accounts).
I’ve stated on a number of occasions on TV and Radio and print in recent weeks that this is not the internet election, I want to talk about and analyse the issues and policies and the campaign offline. (Yes I too am fed up hearing me talk about the twitter!)
Fine Gael seem obsessed about it and they are dangerous with it also. Lots of money is being spent and now members are abusing it and me online for pointing out the dangerous and insulting nature of the campaign and by using the applications that head office is designing and sanctioning. And votes are lost, first and other preferences but they think they are elected already.
