Stephen Fry threatens to quit Twitter following horrid tweeters

Stephen Fry has said he is going to quit Twitter after a fellow user of the popular internet site described him as “boring”.The television presenter has been one of Britain’s biggest champions of the social networking site. Last month he used it to announce the end of his television series Kingdom. He also used Twitter to spearhead a campaign against a newspaper columnist who had described the death of Stephen Gately, the gay pop star, as “sleazy”, describing the article as “loathsome”.
