This is how Joe McElderry promotes and normalises violence - he shows his true colours as a cowardly bully by following this thug and so rewarding her for her violent threats:

When challenged in a video interview by @3am about his fans' threats and asked if he would tell them to lay off, Joe said ‘I appreciate all the support I get from them’ and ‘I’m not going to tell them to lay off’ and when the interviewer said ‘I’ve never felt so threatened in my life’ Joe laughed and replied 'Well you can't mess with the McElderry fans' (interview 24/5/10 at http://www.3am.co.uk/we-talk-to-joe-mcelderry-about-twitter-justin-bieber-and-cheryl-cole---video/22513/)

and in reply to @DanWootton who raised the issue ‘nice’ Joe said:
