Twitter dilemma...

I have namechanged for this for genuine fear of recognition.

Over the past year or so I have been followed and am following a group of mums (some of whom I met on here, eek!) on Twitter.
I live quite close to some of these women and a good few of them have met up after 'meeting' on Twitter. I haven't met any of them IRL, although I've been invited and I like it that way.
The thing is, they now basically use Twitter as a public messaging service and my TL is just crammed full of boring drivel about what they're having for tea and what their kids got up to in nursery...
The thing is a couple of them are really funny, interesting, intellegent women who I'd like to keep following, but I don't want to 'offend' their Twitter friends who I find dull as dishwater now.
AIBU and overly sensitive? Should I just unfollow and not give a shit? I'm looking into this a bit too much aren't I?
I would love to 'out' the cool Twitter ladies here but I can't for obvious reasons! Hmmm.

but can you see it when they@ you?

HeyMicky · 09/09/2012 17:21

Yeah, you'll still get @ messages, but any back and forth drivel will go away. So you get peace and quiet, but don't look rude [passive aggressive face]

Aaah, I honestly think some of these women tweet each other ALL DAY. Don't they have unlimited texts? Sigh.

I doubt they'll notice if you unfollow them.
