It started with a simple tweet: Former major league pitcher Curt Schilling sent out a congratulations message to his daughter, who was expected to pitch for Salve Regina University next year. However, the congratulatory message quickly was followed by a number of harsh, sexually explicit tweets directed at Schilling’s daughter that Schilling says included words such as “rape, bloody underwear and pretty much every other vulgar and defiling word you could likely fathom…”

Schilling wasn’t ready to leave it at that, though. He tracked down the real identities of two of the most vulgar tweeters and revealed their identities on his blog. One was Adam Nagel, a DJ at Brookdale Community College. “How do you think that place feels about this stud representing their school?” Schilling asked. “You don’t think this isn’t going to be a nice compilation that will show up every single time this idiot is Googled the rest of his life?” The other was allegedly a student at Montclair State University. “…Does anyone attending Montclair State University have a student handbook?” Schilling asked. “If so can you pass it along because I am pretty sure there are about 90 violations in this idiots [sic] tweets.”

“This is a generation of kids who have grown up behind the monitor and keyboard,” Schilling said. “The real world has consequences when you do and say things about others. We’re at a point now where you better be sure who you’re going after…What these kids are failing to realize, what this generation fails to realize is this: Everything they’ve just said and done? That is out there now, forever. It can, and in some cases will, follow them for the rest of their lives.”

That seems to be true. According to media reports, the student from Brookdale has been suspended, and the Montclair student—recently graduated—was fired from his job selling tickets for the New York Yankees. (Philly.com)
