CrazyDave Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 There are a couple of very unpleasant Facebook groups popped up locally where people are naming and shaming people who have cheated or been abusive in relationships. I guess the theory is sound and based on good intentions, but I really can’t see it taking long before police or the crisis team are involved with some of the stuff that is allegedly being posted. Whats the score with someone being named and shamed with or without any evidence in a private and hidden group? What is to stop a bitter ex just making stuff up to ruin someone’s life? It seems like the darker side of social media. Especially in a community so small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wife, two sisters, and three sister in laws plus lots of her friends and some particularly scary colleagues who would make my life an absolute misery. Not that I would ever cheat on anyone or abuse them anyway, and especially not the woman who has changed my world and completed my life.

The Phantom Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Well the delightful Nick Crowe was recently busted for similar. Fell out with someone working at Balla, so accused them on FB of being a Paedo and wrote a letter to the school. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-school-worker-falsely-labelled-danger-nonce-in-malicious-online-post-652277?fbclid=IwAR0XEl-t0lYenX_wkL6wYye0lPpQ-WL_yeWgtFg1ltsEMiWF7RHpMQeHN5Q Wasn't there someone up around the Strang that was notorious for it too, accusing random people of being nonces etc. I think he ultimately got charged as well.

Nick Crowe is brilliant when he’s on one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised that Crowe only got away with a fine, it was quite appalling behaviour and the accusation seemed based on nothing but spite. Fenton is another one who seems to get off very lightly in his various legal appearances. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's initially funny at first glance, wife was showing me some of the posts - and we both could quite clearly identify one of the accused - who has deleted all his social media profiles - it could be quite sinister. However I did laugh at the comment when they were told not to post full names or photos "Can you post half a photo of a their head ?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially amusing but with a real chance to screw someone’s life up if someone saw fit. It needs shutting down ASAP, but maybe I am just a middle aged stuck in the mud? For fear of sounding like The Voice of Reason, there is a definite “type” that would post on there and air all their dirty laundry in public.

The issue being he literally doesn’t give a shit and has no filter. I wonder when this Facebook Group will chalk up its first suicide?

Two-lane Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Re. Crowe news item: "Crowe said: ‘Mr Lucas has a serious habit of trolling Facebook pages, trying to destroy people’s companies and good reputations. ‘Mr Lucas was trolling the wrong person last night and a favour was returned to him, " Hmmm.
