Dear Henry,

Why do my friends say horrible things about me when I overtake them on the Twitterwall? Why do all of my friends have more votes than I do. I have been criticised for voting for myself, why shouldn’t I? The rules on the voting are stupid, what can we do about it?

Signed,
Twitterwalled

Dear Twitterwalled,

we dus al want to be liked an to av frends cos it is nachural fing to want.  twittawal av contest ware yoo can vote for yor frends an ther dus be undrids on th twittawal an i shor menny reedas is ther aswel.

i wos ther an i wos gettin votes but i did leev th wal. wot appund wiv a simla fing larst yeer wos appnin agane an i dint want to be part of it. like evrrywun els i dussnt be abel to chaynj th way th wal dus werk but i can chaynj my atittewd to it. so i did leev it. for me ther dussnt be nuffing wers than seein narsty fings beein sed bowt uvvas speshly if it dus be frend agaynst frend. th ansa dus be simpl reely  … if yoo do want to stay on th wal yoo do av to liv wiv consikwensis.

we do al av to aksept that ther is sum hoo wil like us an uvvas hoo dussnt like us. yewsly them hoo dussnt like us dunt bovva torkin wiv us but if they do ther dussnt nevva be a reesun not to be powlite to them.  if sumwun dus be rood to yoo jus ignor them an tern away. yoo can eevun blok them on twitta so they dussnt tork wiv yoo no mor an then jus put ther werds owt of yor mind. av respekt for yorself an uvvas wil respekt yoo. if they dussnt then they issnt frends an sertunly dussnt disserv yor frendship.

everryfing in life dus be bowt choysis an wotevva yoo do choos to do wil av impakt on yor werld.

hai henry – fank u fur da grate column bout being furends. one of da reason i keeps mai account protected iz cuz i wanna determine who follows me. i nose dat may seem snobbish to sum, but i iz on twitter fur a reason – to talk to mai furends and help anipals around da world. so efurryone who follow me iz a furend – i already nose dat. and as much as i luvs all mai twitter pals, i do not vote on da twitterwall cuz too many feeling gets hurt der. da same fing happened last year, so i just choose not to play der! fank u again! xoxo BJC

DUSTY: Henry, we are so glad to hear a voice of reason about Twitter friendships & also about the Twitter Wall. Scribe didn’t know we could ask to come off the wall until you did. She said, “Coach Henry” is very wise and took us off, too. It was actually a relief. We’re on Twitter to converse with other anipals… competing with them was taking the joy away. HURLEY: I didn’t understand the reasons at first, but then Scribe gave me an extra Goodie and that made me feel better. I love having anipal furiends! *running figure 8′s around year*

Well done Henry. I did also leave twitterwall as I dussn’t like to see anipals fightin bout who is most popliar or anyfink and I fink I would vote for all my pals so wot do be the point if everyone do ave one vote each.

I must admit that I don’t vote on any of those walls. They are more divisive than anything else. I love to talk to and dance with my anipals. None of them are any better than any others, regardless of “votes.”

Everybody loves you Henry cuz you are always so tactful & don’t have a mean bone in your body. xxxooooo purrrrrrrrrr
