It’s a sad day when a man like Stephen Fry (@stephenfry)  feels he has to leave a social networking site because of the way he treated by someone else.  I don’t know Stephen personally, but I do follow his regular tweets on Twitter and enjoy the random things he shares with his followers.  The people who follow him range from other celebrities, like the fabulous Derren Brown (@derrenbrown), to nobodies like myself!

Stephen posted a short twitter earlier this afternoon saying

Think I may have to give up on Twitter. Too much aggression and unkindness around. Pity. Well, it’s been fun.

Of course, most people who saw the tweet responded by begging Stephen not to leave and a short while later he did respond with:

Well maybe I’ll see how I feel in a few days. Very low and depressed at the moment and any drop of meanness makes it so much worse. Sorry.

Of course, being the nosy sort I had to track down the source of Stephen’s upset and I did discover a remark by someone called @brumplum saying

@stephenfry I shall have to put more effort into fluid-extraction! *blushes at the thought of S.F. reading my wibbles*

This was closely followed by

My life is complete, @stephenfry has @ replied me, rapidly followed by blocking me. My previous comment clearly hit him hard. Sorry.

I’m unsure whether I’ve missed a comment in between somewhere as Stephen replied to this person but I can’t the original comment he responded to.

Either way, if Stephen does leave Twitter, it will be a sad day as his comments do brighten up the twitterverse and he would be sadly missed.

Please don’t leave, Stephen!
