If anyone's curious about the satirical homophobic tripe Eoin Macken just posted and then deleted on his blogspot here, it did get copypasted at the mean meme here

I feel justified in my dislike for Gwaine now. 8) What was the Bradley twitter kerfuffle about? Is it true he loves to slag off the show?

I don't know that there was any particular kerfuffle. Bradley hasn't tweeted for some time - seems to spend more time deleting his prior tweets (no matter how innocuous they might be). I assume he just got bored with the whole thing (and wary of some of the more persistent hangers-on - early on he had a weird habit of announcing each time he blocked someone) and I think his GF was coming in for a certain amount of twitter flak just for being his GF.

He doesn't always have the strongest brain-mouth filter when it comes to interviews and is far less likely to follow the smile-and-stay-positive party line that Colin or Katie generally obey. He definitely doesn't slag off the show, but he's never seemed mad keen on the Arthur/Gwen relationship, for instance, and has a tendency to scowl through PR duties when he's not in the mood for them.

Aww, who could blame him, really. I guess it leaves a sour taste for some of the fans but on the flipside dealing with some of the fans would leave a sour taste in the mouth. :')

Yup, we fans can be hard work at times. I've now seen both Bradley and Colin in person coming out of the lavatory (no, not together!) Bradley I walked straight past. Colin I whipped out my camera and shrieked uncontrollably. (I think it's safe to say I'm a Colin stan.)

How on earth did he think posting that was a good idea? The mere idea of writing it is cringeworthy, but dude, don't share.

He even linked to it on his 6000-strong twitter, and was then offended when some people took offence. I'd assume he was trolling, but I suspect he's just plain thick.
