Exclusive by Martin Daubney
They are the scourge of social media as they abuse, tease and even threaten strangers on the internet.
But the more they are hated the more they seem to grow. Such is the is the twisted world of the TROLL.
Thus begins the article in the Sun today by Martin Daubney. This is the article which Hutton was proudly telling us over the last few weeks was going to be her big chance to demonstrate how bad trolling is and she was encouraged by Poulton to go ahead because it would be done fairly and would allow Hutton to give her side of the case.
Well Sonia Poulton was absolutely right. Rosalinda Hutton's interview has been fairly reported. We can see that as it is almost entirely made up of direct quotes from her. But, while being absolutely fair, it portrays Hutton as a truly nasty bitch. I have to wonder did Poulton egg on this stupid old woman, Hutton, knowing what was going to happen. Or is Poulton also being deceived by the MSM? It has to be one or the other because this absolute trashing of an anti-McCann by Daubney in this way is so clear. Either Poulton is so naive as to have thought that Daubney would portray Hutton as the example of an anti McCann hater in a good light or she deliberately deceived Hutton.
Trolling of others is vile. Any posting of filthy disgusting abuse online is vile. Any threats posted online are equally vile. Often these behaviours are not simply vile but also criminal. It is my personal view that anyone who participates in such online activity should be dealt with severely.
When someone posts abuse or threats online they demonstrate their own state of mind, their own character and their own motives in that post and we learn far more about the poster than the person they are abusing.
Anyone who is online simply because they get a "buzz" from metaphorically kicking another person is, in my view either mentally ill or the kind of vile person who should be removed from the Internet either by a term in prison (if their actions are sufficiently serious) or by having their access denied for a period. I don't care what subject they are posting on, who they are defending or supporting, or whether they use their own name or a pseudonym. If their actions cause distress or are extremely abusive or even illegal then they should be dealt with as if they were facing the person in the street.
But back to the actual trashing of this self-promoting but ultimately very sad old lady who has spent seven years of her life getting a "buzz" by being abusive online.
What did Rosalinda Hutton (author of the 'Cry in the Dark', pity genre book) reveal about the trolling of the McCanns? What did Rosalinda Hutton reveal about herself? What did Rosalinda Hutton tell us in her own words about other Anti-McCann trolls?
Daubney's article in white. My comments in blue.
One of the most bitter areas of conflict on social media is between the “pros” and “antis” who obsessively follow the case of missing Madeleine McCann.
The dispute resulted in tragedy in October last year when Brenda Leyland, 63, was found dead after being publicly exposed for trolling Maddy’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann.
Hutton herself tells us that many of the other anti-McCanns she counts and counted as her "friends" were, like her, obsessive, depressed and lonely. As yet, until the Inquest, we actually have no idea what finally caused the death of Brenda Leyland. Whether it was simply being exposed for her vile hate abuse posted online or whether other issues such as the estrangement from her son on whose birthday she chose to take her life were factors.
It is believed she received death threats from Twitter users who aggressively defended the McCanns.
I recall seeing only one such threat directed at Brenda Leyland from a US poster whose timeline showed that she was a wilful troll abusing at random and on a regular basis. The exaggeration within Rosalinda Hutton's phrase is necessary as she is trying to make a case which is lacking in evidence. As I stated above though, any such abuse is wholly wrong and should be dealt with. However I find it hard to believe that such a post would be the reason for a suicide. The person was thousands of miles away. The person had made the treat openly and could easily be traced. Far more likely to have been playing on the mind of Brenda Leyland was the abject shame she must have felt for having been exposed as an online abuser of the McCanns.
Rosalinda Hutton, 57, was a supporter of Leyland and proudly declares: “I’d like to pick up where Brenda left off.
Right at the beginning of the interview, Rosalinda Hutton states openly that she actually wants to continue the abuse which Brenda Leyland was guilty of. Perhaps Rosalinda Hutton has missed the little bit of the Sky News tape where Brenda Leyland invited Brunt into her home. It was perfectly clear that Brenda Leyland was ashamed or she would have explained her bravado about being entitled to tweet abuse on camera. It was also perfectly clear that Brenda Leyland fully understood from the fact that she hoped she would not be prosecuted for possibly having broken the law that what she was doing online was not acceptable.
But Rosalind Hutton wants to carry on with the abuse. There is no logic to that. Brenda Leyland told Brunt she was probably not going to tweet again. But Hutton is so taken with the "buzz" of getting attention that she cannot see that her proclamation to pick up the reins from Leyland is so wrong. She cannot see that she is actually making sure that Brenda Leyland will be remembered only for the trolling she did, something Brenda herself did not want as her only memorial.
“I’ve been totally gripped by the McCann case for the last seven years. It was an addiction.
It is clear from her own words that Rosalind Hutton has a problem with addictions. She admits her dependence on drugs and she admits her need here to be involved in this online abusive activity because of the "buzz" which it gives her. She clearly needs help not people like Poulton encouraging her to expose all her personal failings in the national media.
“When the story broke in May 2007, I was suffering from the most terrible depression. I’d lost my mother, my best friend and my dad.
I was very isolated and became engrossed in a forum on the McCann case. It was a way to switch off the pain of the real world. I’d gone from this lonely, isolated existence to suddenly having this huge arena of friends from all around the world.
“We had this hard-core group, all women much like myself – similar age, backgrounds. We formed a friendship.
Rosalind Hutton has portrayed herself, in my view, very accurately. A sad, depressed old woman desperate for friendship and willing to get that friendship wherever it might be found, even if that was in the cess pit of online abusers. She simply wasn't fussy who became her friend.
“I wasn’t one of the evil ones – and there were a few of those around. I was attacking the McCanns and suddenly I became the object of attack by absolutely crazy people.”
Here we come to the absolute crux of the article as written by Martin Daubney. Before going on to let Rosalind Hutton describe the gratification she personally got from her vile online behaviour, Daubney has established the fact that the person doing the initial online attacking was in fact Rosalind Hutton herself. This sad, depressed, old woman had joined with her new friends in "attacking the McCanns". She willingly chose to go online to "attack" the parents of a missing child. She willingly joined in some of the sickest abusive posting ever seen on the Internet. She was a nasty troll attacking innocent people.
And Daubney has allowed Rosalinda Hutton to tell us herself that it was because she was taking part in this "attacking the McCanns" that she was herself attacked by people who she describes as "crazy" but who were simply pointing out to her and her online "friends" that the attacking of innocent people with lies, speculation, abusive images, pornographic images threats, stalking and so-on was wrong.
Yes, some of those defending the innocent parents of Madeleine also stepped over the line. But they would not have done so had those "attacking the McCanns" not initiated the online abuse. Rosalinda Hutton was right in among those vile abusers of the parents of a missing child. Indeed she proudly calls them her "friends".
Author, Hutton, from Dartford, Kent says she was bombarded with abuse and offensive pictures.
But "author", Rosalinda Hutton, from Dartford, whose case against the home she accused of allowing her to be bullied was thrown out of court and whose accusations against that home have been dismissed by almost everyone who ever went near the place, has forgotten something vital. Whatever abuse she received was simply in response to the appalling abuse she was dishing out with her friends in their "attacking of the McCanns". Rosalinda Hutton was not the innocent party. The McCanns were. Rosalinda Hutton was only receiving abuse because she was trolling and attacking the McCanns.
She adds: “They said, ‘Your mother was a tramp’. Really nasty stuff. On the first anniversary of my mum’s death, I got a phone call in the wee small hours saying, ‘Mummy’s here…’ It was really menacing.
“One night, they all descended on me and I said, ‘Leave me alone, I’m going to kill myself’, and one of them said, ‘Good idea. Put yourself out of your misery’.
“Eventually I went off to bed about 3am. One of my friends who’d seen it phoned me to make sure I hadn’t killed myself, she was that concerned.”
Her friend wanted to phone the police, Hutton says: ‘It became like a pack of wolves attacking somebody in the middle. One of them said to me, ‘You’ve made up your mother’s death to get attention’.
The rank hypocrisy from Rosalinda Hutton is sickening. She absolutely detested it when somebody said rude and nasty things about her mother or her. But the reality is that she has been taking part for seven years (she tells us this herself in this very article) in the ongoing vile and disgusting abusive campaign "attacking the McCanns". That abusive campaign has seen these innocent parents of a missing little girl threatened on a regular basis, stalked by hounders such as the online friend of Rosalinda Hutton namely Deborah Butler from Allington less than 20 miles from Dartford who has regularly been shown to be a liar and drunk and is now a convicted criminal fraudster having defrauded her own sick parents, approached in the street, made the subject of thousands and thousands of grotesque and often pornographic images, had to take the halfwit, Bennett, to court for his online abuse, had to witness their parents, relatives and friends lives being pulled apart by scum such as Rosalind Hutton, Tony Bennett, S*** Hyland and their ilk. But Rosalinda Hutton completely forgets that is the reason she was challenged online. It was her attacking innocent people that annoyed others.
“It was so disturbing. It was as if they had a system and they’d suddenly all dive in.”
Yet more hypocritical whinging and self pity from this attacker of innocent people. You would think reading this that she isn't party to the very same activity, that she never dives in, that her friends don't co-ordinate their attacks, for example by rallying each other to post abuse on news article comment sections.
But Hutton says the anger she felt towards the mob egged her on to fight back.
Conveniently ignoring the fact that it was her self-admitted "attacking of the McCanns", innocent people, which brought the challenges to her behaviour in the first place. Had she not attacked the McCanns then she would not have been challenged or in turn abused.
She says: “I felt absolutely outraged that they were ripping into my parents.
You have to ask yourself is it the drugs she takes, the severe depression she has or something else which makes Rosalinda Hutton so ridiculously so far up herself that she cannot see how that sounds. Her annoyance that having been part of the army of haters "attacking the McCanns", ripping into their friends, their children, their parents in the most frenzied online abuse campaign ever, that some of them should have the nerve to criticise her parents who put her in a home because they could not cope with her behaviour or because they were ineffective as parents is spectacular proof that she totally lacks self-awareness.
“I was involved in these vile wars and I couldn’t wait to get back. They were dreadful to me but I couldn’t stay away. I couldn’t resist it.”
And now the true reasons for Rosalinda Hutton's involvement firstly in the "attacking of the McCanns" and subsequently her online abuse towards those supporting the innocent parents of Madeleine begins to emerge. As the breakout quotation from Hutton in Martin Daubney's article makes clear. By her own clear admission the truth is that at heart she is a bitch.
In revenge, Hutton dished out some serious abuse. She says: “I’m a bit of a show-off and I had an audience. It was a war now. To the trolls, I gave as good as I got. I can be quite a bitch. I enjoyed the wars and the spats. It saved kicking the dog, really.
She compares her own disgusting online abusive activities to kicking a dog. That is how she sees the people she was attacking, that is how she sees the people who were challenging her vile lies about the McCanns and who she resents for their intervening when she wants to attack innocent people.
As with all her activities she is showing off to others. She was lonely and seeking their friendship and she really did not care that such friendship had to be earned by attacking innocent people and engaging in online spats with others. She didn't care because as she tells us she is a bitch and enjoys that kind of thing.
“A lot of people kept records of all the comments and would wave these at lawyers and police. People were howling writs. It got really down and dirty.
You can sense the pure enjoyment she gets from these activities when she can "get down and dirty".
“You do get a buzz when you squish somebody. I felt high. The more outrageous you are, the bigger the reaction.
“It is a form of attention-seeking really. It’s a real buzz that keeps drawing you back. Perhaps I should be ashamed of that but it is so easy to become hooked."
Rosalinda Hutton really doesn't seem to understand that Martin Daubney has got her to describe in her own words just what a vile anti-McCann troll is like underneath the skin. She started off by telling us of her loneliness, her deep depression, her desperate need for friends. And now we hear how this nasty troll called Rosalinda Hutton defines herself as an attention seeker who is addicted to the buzz of being more and more outrageous to get a bigger and bigger reaction. The very definition of TROLLING given to us in her own words about herself.
We really do have Sonia Poulton to thank for encouraging this sad old woman to put herself out in the MSM to be trashed so completely and so wonderfully by Daubney. Whether Poulton was pathetically naive herself or was setting up Rosalinda Hutton remains to be seen.
