Fall Out Boy’s normally fairly placid vocalist Patrick Stump has let loose on his personal twitter account attacking a heckler with a rapid fire of short but witty remarks. It seems a blogger and professional troll named Shane Morris has incurred the wrath of Stump, having heckled the vocalist one too many times.
There doesn’t seem to be too much material on what happened before Stump lost his calm, but it sure as hell must have been something annoying. At one point, Morris is described as “a desperate heroin-addled Reno dinner theatre has-been” with Stump labeling the troll’s effort as “all shock”:
“‘AIDS.’ ‘Dead Babies.’ ‘Emo.’ ‘Eyeliner.’ ‘Kill Yourself.’ It’s fluff. It’s lazy.”
Morris is apparently a music manager, but the FOB vocalist would insist that the desire to take pot shows at musicians is a bad sign of his abilities, “It might lead one to think you’re a pretty shitty music manager. Not my words mind you; Your internal monologue’s. And work performance’s.”
Earlier in the year, Stump took to his blog to decry the increasing tendency for Internet cultures to gravitate towards ignorant, insecure hatred. Stump firing into a sad Twitter troll must be part of his enlightened, secure hatred campaign, then.

I should be so lucky! I’m gonna tell you something: I’m a pretty nice guy. You’d probably like me. Allow me to make that impossible for you.

You suck at heckling. We could start with how none of your insults have contextual substance.

You’re all shock. “AIDS.” “Dead Babies.” “Emo.” “Eyeliner.” “Kill Yourself.” It’s fluff. It’s lazy.

Like for someone criticizing you, it’d be less lazy to point out that it’s a poor idea for a music manager to pick fights w/ musicians.

Or how you’re trolling for barrels full of fish to shoot on message boards of bands you spend so much time hating, you might as well like.

While we’re on the subject of voluntary irrelevance; Trolling itself is kind of over. It’s too transparently sad.

You’re just a reality star nobody’s wasting the memory stick on. You went straight to washed up.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
About as washed up as one would expect from a guy so on the pulse of relevant pop culture that he’s spitting barbs about emo through grills.

It’s like you were born a desperate heroin-addled Reno dinner theatre has-been.

Perhaps one could point out how I like pretty much everybody and even I don’t like you.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
All told your most effective insult is the one you are to the art of criticism and music management.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
See, those are all better insults because even my insults are more dignified than you are.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
So what’s your next stock bully move sweep-the-leg-Johnny? Resort to the age old “Sellout?” Get that fist fight ready?

“I know what I’ll do. I’ll insult his friends and family. Yeah. That’ll really show him! Hey Pat! Your band sucks!…and…uh…your mom!”

Beat me, insult me; Doesn’t matter. You’re just the card we can see up the magician’s sleeve.

So how about this magic trick: I’m going to click “Block,” and you’re going to lose money.

That last mess of tweets was all directed at one @iamshanemorris. Do the world a favor and block him as well. Have a great day 🙂

@iamshanemorris‘s twitter fight with @petewentz last night was equally hilarious and amazing. I adore you Shane
