    Who is such a grinch that reporting and celebrating a run a few days a week makes you unfollow. I love to see and celebrate YOUR hard work!

        @avantgame RE:grinch You have exceptional and unique tweets, but truthfully there's more noise around them than most witter users.

        .@profenhistoire who gets to decide what is noise? I tweet what I'm interested in + excited about. No one else gets to define that as noise.

        @marilynk_ @lesterleesm That's why I was against calling them grinches. Got me 30 favorites against me but on 58'000 followers

        @avantgame Who is such a grinch that they have to inform you they’re unfollowing you? Dude just take your leave politely.

        @avantgame Those who don't run and feel guilty about it and then project their guilt onto those who do?

        @avantgame that's the problem with twitter. 'Unfollowing' is such a drama queen way of making a comment. Don't like? Don't read.
