Default [BBC] Fry ends row with Twitter critic
Quote:
The actor and presenter, who has more than 900,000 followers,
had threatened to leave the site, saying there was "too much aggression
and unkindness". But fans rallied round, attacking his critic and begging him
to stay.

Sauce


Pathetic to be honest. Might as well have said:

"you called me boring, that's it I'm telling mummy
and I'm not playing out with twitter again"

Well he is a manic depressive, so I am not surprised by his reaction.

You are criticizing Fry? Do you know the whole background? He just wrote a little quip, (paraphrased) "oh, you've convinced me, I quit twitter". He didn't personally attack the guy, his followers did.

I don't blame Stephen Fry in the least, he handled it quite well actually.

Not at all, if that was aimed at me?
