It looks like Pitt fan Ron Carnevali's twitter page is down....
- Thread starter strider94
- Start date
And the previous thread "Pitt fan & past Pitt Board of Trustees Member upset about Wade" is now locked. Hmmmm?? 
I actually went to their homepage yesterday and accidentally found myself on an "send email" page. Now, I'm a cautious, reasonable man so I just closed the page and went around my business, but, thinking about it this morning, I'm sure that more than a few others found themselves where I was and decided to let their feelings be known.
I would never dream of embarrassing my family or my employer through social media, and I try to be really careful what I say and how I say it. It's my personality, but it's also, I'm sure, a sense of responsibility and respect for others in my life I'm thinking of here. This guy, really, WTF was he thinking? Did he ever think of how poorly this would go over?
This board is my sole social media presence, by the way. Just saying. I'm sure people can figure out who I am, where I work, so I try not to be a horse's ass on this board.
Social media is kind of like a loaded gun sitting on a table. As long as it sits there, and does not get used, it's benign.
If someone who is skilled and experienced knows how to use it, then it can be used in an appropriate manner. If someone who is not skilled and experienced uses it, then you never know what kind of damage they can inflict....including to themselves.

That's a shame. He seemed like one of the more level-headed sPitters...
If he is, or was, a member of the Pitt Board of Trustees, and he is publicly commenting on recruits who either did or did not commit, is he not in violation of NCAA recruiting rules?
It's Pitt - no one, other than this Board and a couple of Yinzers even bother to pay attention. Certainly not the NCAA.
Social media doesn't ruin stupid people. Stupid people ruin stupid people.
P.S. 'ro, I love the signature pic. Mox is an idiot.
Maybe there should be some kind of registration so that those with mental health issues are prevented from using social media.
As an Internet tough guy, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that you are an idiot. And, I am prepared to insult you via my keyboard anytime, anywhere.
IT'S. ON.
Yes, I used the link provided and expressed that if in need of counsel I would not consider their firm. I said that as a lawyer his behavior was unacceptable. I said he was a lower form of life and congratulated him on that achievement.
I don't use Social Media but the one thing I like about it is you know who the idiots and freaks are right away.
Its like a stupid detector on steroids. LOL.
Those would be the least of life's rules that he violates all the time, I'd imagine.
I know who you are and you are a good guy. The majority of this board, are good people.
I sent them an e-mail suggesting he be disciplined. I asked them to respond, though I said I didn't expect a response.
Spence Custer is a six person law firm. Four of them are partners and Carnevali is one of them. I think you're wasting your time.
Not sure what their specialty is, but one can always use the Social Media network to forward his posts about the issue. Of course, you will be stooping to his level, so there is that stench you will have to deal with.
I've seen 4 different spellings. Is it "C A R N I V A L E" or "C A R N E V A L I" or "C A R N E V A L L I"
Yes, I agree that I am wasting my time in expecting any discipline. But, at the very least, I was not going to leave anything to chance that the other partners would not find out about his latest social transgression. These partners depend on a steady of flow of business, and if one of their partners is engaging in behavior that would not give a favorable look to the firm, then they may get pretty nervous.
The fact that his twitter page is down gives me hope that someone is paying attention.
Note to Penn Staters who may be clients of that firm. If you have power over engaging counsel, it might be worth it to seek alternatives. Law firms of that ilk are eminently fungible. Outside counsel works at my behest. If they fail (or annoy) me, it doesn't take much to shift my business.
You guys have the largest living Alumni network, n'est ce pas? Well, time to start using it.

Patronizing will get you nowhere....
Not patronizing, factual.
The freaks are in the vast minority, both the board and the mods also know who has a history of stalking and who has been banned for it, along with being banned from other things, in the past.
Rivals would go bankrupt.
I just called the firm and expressed my displeasure. I spoke only with the receptionist. While I did not have a face-to-face with her, I don't think my call or correspondence was the first they heard on this issue or this particular partner. When I mentioned Carnevali's (Sp?) name, she did chuckle. That told me that his behavior must be nothing new to them, and they have accepted it as "Ron being Ron" or something like that.
To say this fellow's comments are ridiculously boneheaded is an understatement.
But having said that, it was weirdly refreshing to see someone (especially a Pitt guy) hating at us for reasons unrelated to the events of the last 5 years. So I say kudos to Mr. C.

Like my father (retired college professor) used to say, "There is no such thing as a stupid question... just stupid people that ask questions"
It's Pitt. Anything they do, good or bad, will go unnoticed at the national level.
On that thread, somebody speculated about his politics.And the previous thread "Pitt fan & past Pitt Board of Trustees Member upset about Wade" is now locked. Hmmmm??
IDK for certain how he voted most recently. But, he was a Gary Johnson supporter at one point.

His facebook page has a couple PSU posts from 2012. HIs mind was made up early on, of course.
However, there are no posts since 2014. Maybe he has not been active on facebook recently. IDK.
Plus, he is only showing one friend on this page....which is impossible. I think he scrubbed the page at some point....or maybe just switched his social media emphasis to twitter. IDK.
IDK.
I am guessing that his appointment to the Pitt Board might have been as a UPJ representative to the Board.
I wonder how much he "knows" Sandusky.
His pictures look like the posters for "Stranger Danger".
