Brave people don't use their keyboards as shields . Like quite a few on here I am not a masked poster .....
Verbal violence can only lead to physical violence to those that don't know how to control themselves.

What do you mean you are not a masked poster?

I am almost certain that if you met up with someone after a confrontation on here it would end up with either them or you using violence

It's inevitable

Re: Oscars Punch Up

It clearly wasnt staged.

Smith shouting and swearing after his slap and the look on his face is enough to show that.

Agree. Why would Smith agree to do that on the night he's up for best actor? There's a room full of famous people, they could just get someone else to do it.

If you step back, it makes no sense.

As for the slap, yes it looks a bit weak and not entirely real. Perhaps Smith's heart wasn't in it.

Re: Oscars Punch Up

If someone took the piss out of my wife publicly and in such a personal way I'd do more than slap them.

Re: Oscars Punch Up

Disagree in this context. I find people offensive or unfunny, i don't go to their shows. He was clearly laughing at other people expenses prior to taking offence, sorry you don't get to decided. All or nothing

Well I clearly do get to decide, because I already have, haven't I!

Spot on.

As for the masked poster, I personally don't want friends and family knowing I poat bollocks on a messageboard so I don't reveal my identity, but that's not to say I "hide behind a keyboard" because anyone who qas to have an issue with me on here could ask me and I wouldn't have an issue in "revealing myself" in private. I don't agree with people not being able to back their words up face to face.. swap football messageboards for works WhatsApp groups for example..plenty of lads get mouthy over txt and seem like little nice when they work together down the line..

So if you were in a comedy show and laughing for 30 minutes at other people misfortune at the butt of the jokes, that's cool. The minute the comedian turns to you and your wife though, that's off limits? Or you would be outraged the very first joke where anybody was the the butt of the joke?

You think that if you have a disagreement with someone online you would have that same level of disagreement with them in a pub ?

No chance

Even very intelligent people can lose their temper Jimmy .

It's a stage of emotion you need to avoid getting to IMO

So happy to laugh at other people but you or things you care about are off limits? (remember, i clearly said in the context of the show)

Backstage maybe though hey? Not in front of millions of people on TV? Smith looks like a bit of a loose unit, laughing one minute and losing it the next. He’s always come across as a bit of cool dude, maybe not so much these days……

Re: Oscars Punch Up

Twas a mere slap which caught Rock on the back foot and served its purpose defending his wife's honour.

I see he has apologised unreservedly since learning his Oscar may have to be returned.

Two things spring to mind, there is no such thing as bad publicity and Chris Rock is no Ricky Gervais.

Exactly. There's no question that Smith made everything ten times worse by reacting in the moment rather than waiting til later.

Re: Oscars Punch Up

Wasn't Chris Rock expressing his right to free speech though? Or is what Will Smith did fine because he's just proving that actions have consequences? But doesn't that make him a snowflake for getting offended by a joke? Love seeing people twist themselves in knots about this
