Flynn, himself, was a victim of abuse when he was targeted by a small section of Cheltenham fans while with his family after a recent home game, during their current run of six games without a win.
“I fully get the frustration, but I don’t use it as a get out of jail free card to go and abuse people,” he added.
“I’m frustrated, the players are frustrated, the fans have got every right to be frustrated and I agree with them.
“But it is a lot easier these days to be cruel than kind. A lot of players, a lot of people, a lot of managers, wives – my 10-year-old son a couple of weeks back, it broke his heart, he hasn’t left my side for 10 days.
“You could see it affects [people] a lot bigger than they think they’re achieving or trying to achieve, and that is the downside.”
