See-also the Flames website's former official forum. I forget why they shut it down though. I think the Muhammad cartoons controversy played a role though. Fortunately in the US, there is section 230 immunity (and hopefully something similar in Canada) for people like Bingo, but the mods here still have to be vigilant. Been there, done that too. It sucks.
As far as the tweeter goes, he is absolutely correct that TSN putting it to air is TSN's fault. But he is about to learn that getting his joke onto the air under TSN's brand is going to have a world of hurt for him too. If not soon, the apology and retraction will undoubtedly come when he is served with papers and realizes that being an internet tough guy really isn't worth it after all.
