It should also be said that she's considered by thousands of people to be out of touch in the recent Twitter legal test after a guy was fined £1000 for making a joke on Twitter (see BBC News, Robin Hood airport Wikipedia article and other sources).--78.155.49.242 (talk) 20:35, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, else it's an obvious POV by omission. Unless of course you can find *one* source that reports her decision without at least implying that it was perhaps a bit heavy-handed, not to mention the IAmSpartacus backlash etc. 220.210.180.179 (talk) 09:49, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Number of exclamation marks

This may seem like a small point, but I've seen the original tweet quoted elsewhere with two exclamation marks at the end, not one (including in the main WP article about the trial). I'm not sure which it is, but I think it's important to get it right-- it has a bearing on how obvious it is that the tweet was hyperbolic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SDavies (talkcontribs) 12:33, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited it to add the second exclamation mark that appears in most news stories, the reference only has one though, so I'm not sure if that needs changing. Multiple news reports from the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19009344) and guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/nov/11/twitter-joke-trial-appeal-verdict) have the second exclamation mark if someone feels the need to change the reference, or there's stories specifically mentioning that there were multiple marks ( http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/david-allen-green/2012/06/twitter-joke-trial-david-allen-green or http://reverttosaved.com/2012/05/28/bbc-mis-quotes-paul-chambers-twitter-joke-trial-tweet-presumably-because-electrons-cost-lots-of-money/ ) Jasonisme (talk) 12:13, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
