Can't he just ban the poster or something?

Duff's wife had problems several months ago with some people. Duff asked them to stop and quit posting on twitter for a long while after that. I never followed her and when he quit posting I stopped following him. My friend who followed Duff said she did not see anything posted that would be considered bashing.

Apparently his last "tweet" was...

'Be nice from Duff & Susan (+ GN'R)''

Oh, I did. In fact some of them became convinced that my Twitter account was Duff's secret one that he set up to avoid them, so I got a lot of it too for a while. I would've thought when they targeted his daughter would be the final straw though.

If I were Duff, that would have done it for me

I see now his actions were because of the issues several months ago. My friend said the only thing she noticed the past couple of weeks was someone saying something like Axl and Izzy were GNR and that the other members were nothing. She also said it was being tweeted to Slash and Steven and the person was doing it almost daily. But I would think that Duff could careless about remarks like that.

It is sad that crazy people mess things up for everyone else. Slash now only answers people with dms because of  problems he has had on twitter.
