AIBU to feel upset that a well known journo sent me a shirty tweet?

[Siane]

I follow someone who I find amusing and likeable but recently tweeted her for giving away the ending to a series on telly (watching on sky+).
We've exchanged many tweets over the years and I sent a low key grumble but got a nasty lob back.
Ffs- I've felt all snubbed all week. Am I daft?

Oh Aitch- she was to me too! Was just about to say! I emailed her I was so pissed off and she sent me THE most condescending email you have ever read. An absolute self obsessed twunt.

I unfollowed Emma Kennedy because she irritated me.

aw, what a bitch. if she were chocolate she'd eat herself no?

Nah everyone knows to stay off twitter when you haven't seen some big ending on a drama etc

But...but....maybe she was just a bit short with you. Having a bad day, tweeting whilst feeling a bit fucked off? We are none of us perfect. She's not performing.

Or was her tweet 'fuck off you twat'

Well, must be hard to stay normal when you're in Meeja Land in a virtual circle of love-ins, plus getting 16000 tweets a day telling you you're marvellous.

I'd have thought those with many followers would sorta have the nouse/grace not to do a big reveal.

No excuse for being shitty with people. I call it - IWNBU. Now, off to watch Borgen, although there's no bloody point...cos I know the end xx

the hilarious thing was that she was slagging off frankie boyle (or someone of that kidney) and called him a 'fucktard'. i merely pointed out that she had just used a contraction of fucking retard and had not, therefore, covered herself in righteous glory.

rather than a 'ooops, shite, yes' there followed an exchange between us that culminated in her saying 'just because you can link to the definition of the urban dictionary doesn't mean you're right'...

Oh, they're ALWAYS performing Pagwatch.

Always.

I Think I've seen the particular conversation you refer to! The orinignal comment was a bit arsey but the subsequent ones seemed nice enough :)
( if you're twitter name starts with J then I've read it , I not, ignore above comments)

re India, you know she seems nice etc etc etc but she marries the gayest men, so it's not all rosy in her garden i think.

Missberta- that's exactly what I thought. Use DM! Working 60 hour weeks, husband away, kids got problems, watch one thing a week and...
Was more upset at pretty much being told I was an arsehole than hearing the ending..

Now you know, I follow India and I find her quite funny, but blunt.

Mind, of all the celebs around, she was the one that emailed me when I'd just sent her an email saying that I hadn't seen her column that day, cos I couldn't get a Sunday Times for some reason.

She actually found out that they'd had problems with the printers, then emailed me back. She didn't have to, but she put herself out to tell me that.

So India rocks. Even if she can be a crabby cow like we all can be sometimes.

Who the feck is India Knight? I always assumed she was an MN urban myth.

put herself out? she's a professional sender of emails... i think your head's been turned.

Phillip Schofield follows me

Oh blimey. Keep that quiet.

I didn't realize that was a contraction, I'd thought it was a substitute. Does that mean a fuckwit is a fucking nitwit?

I might start using Fuckdiot.

Yeah, Schofe and me...like that

Emma Kennedy is completely mental. She actually went ballistic at people for telling her who the last cylon was after she tweeted "I have to know who the last cylon is". There was a lot of stuff recently with some film lecturer that he blogged about (google grumptimism emma kennedy) when they had a minor disagreement and she wouldn't leave him alone then accused him of being a sexist. She genuinely thinks all male writers are envious of her and hate her and can't see that she is usually the aggressor.

She's weird. Really weird.

She fell out with a big gang of her twitter mates fairly recently (Caitlin, Grace Dent et al) but I don't know why (yet). She feels aggrieved as she recently helped GD through some sort of mini breakdown but Grace binned her as soon as she got over it.

well actually saying 'i didn't realise' was one of the options available to her, as we all learn new things every day. instead she sneered repeatedly and claimed that she had literally just made the word up on the spot, never ever having been influenced by any outside forces.

but yes, it's deffo fucktard as in fucking retard. there was a looooooooooong thread about it on here once, all the pedants came out of the woodwork and provided etymological background. no idea about fuckwit, would have thought that would be fucking witless but might well be nitwit.

oh that is interesting about EK, coco. i had only just joined Twitter so didn't know much about her, so couldn't believe it when she needed to slap me down so hard, over the course of about ten messages. seemed like total overkill, but if she's off her head then that would explain.

I am laying claim to Feckjit for feckingeejit then.

I have no clue who Emma Kennedy is. I keep thinking of the Emma who was on Going Live
