you're attempts to trivialise it are laughable to be honest, its a joke and it definitely shouldn't be considered ok.
If I disagreed with a decision with Kenny and called him a prick, what do you reckon the reaction would be?
What about if I called Rafa a twat?
would we all just move on? I don't think so, there'd be uproar but because its carragher we just close the thread again and gloss over it.
Its a forum mate, people are not going to act how you do, or view players in the same light. Yes, the comment is digusting about one of our own, but you have to realise there are people who do not hold the club/players on that level, or act in a suitable manner.
Its something i have noticed. Even at the game there are different levels of fans, and views on how players should be treated. Ive heard comments over the last months hoping Kuyt breaks his leg at games and will someone snap carras leg to stop him hoofing.
Its disgusting, but so is sociaty and a forum this size is going to reflect that.
