    Guy is a knob but that program got trolled bigtime. A girl appeared on claiming she had been bullied by his group was actually one of his group and the production team did ****all research into her. Poor effort.

    The British Boxing Board Of Control are a ****ing disgrace, so yes Curtis probably will get hauled before them.

    Fair play for Jimbob fessing up on national tv but he's still an idiot

    I remember he popped up in some thread on FB a while back and was reasonably amusing, so I added him, then for weeks after that he just sent out these insane unfunny ramblings designed to cause maximum offense. I think he is slightly disturbed, he's only about 19 or something and not the most educated of people but there was a long list of people that wanted to do him some serious damage! I deleted him in the end as he got very tiresome but not surprised in the slightest he ended up in some grief on TV or in the media as he was desperate for that kind of attention!

    Damn, if I was that ****er, I would reject every damn interview that comes to my door. He has no idea how much that affects his future.

    It seems the troll got his 15 minutes of fame. I can imagine a reality tv show will follow, "Troll Hunter". They'd get that short arsed bald bloke from Cowboy Builders to track down Internet trolls and tell them off a bit whilst they're walking to their cars.

    Or maybe Curtis himself can champion the cyber bullied masses and get the trolls to take him on in a charity exhibition boxing match. A bit like "Bully Beatdown"

    The guy didn't do it for the fame. The good thing is, he won't ever do it again. Things like that humble you.

    Curtis has done alright out of this so fair play to him.

    What worries me is how “celebrities” treat twitter abuse like some sort of badge of honour. I use Twitter but follow very few famous people, yet I notice that some of them are far more likely to respond to abuse than anything else. (This is not aimed at Curtis by the way)

    When you have people with lots of followers responding to abuse, it only serves to give the trolls instant notoriety and celebrity, which only encourages more to do it. That chump who abused Tom Daily has 50,000 followers and was over all the papers for days.

    It’s probably difficult to bite your tongue in certain instances, and I don’t fault Curtis for doing what he did at all.

    If everyone ignored it, they'd go away
