It's definitely becoming more difficult to keep up with everything going on around you, both online and off. And I know it's not just me finding that - good to take time out and recharge the batteries, for sure. Thank you for your offer of help, it's really appreciated and touching. Hi Maria,

Thank you. It’s definitely becoming more difficult to keep up with everything going on around you, both online and off. And I know it’s not just me finding that – good to take time out and recharge the batteries, for sure.

Thank you for your offer of help, it’s really appreciated and touching.

Many tweets can easily miss someone you want to direct a message too. I, too, am totally surprised that any negativity was directed towards you. I want to reiterate what Mickey stated. If you need help, give some of us a call. This cause will only grow the more we put it out there. We signed up not just to re-tweet and talk the talk...but to walk with you - and to lend a helping hand if and when the need arises.

I wouldn't mind so much if it was an open conversation with both sides allowed to comment; unfortunately some of the criticism has come from moderated blogs where only one side is usually being shown. And I might just take you up on the Aussie adventure - love your country, backpacked around it for 6 months a few years back and want to return soon. So who knows...? ;-) Cheers fella.

I'm always the first to advise someone (friends, clients, etc) that being online will always open you up to positive and negative views of you - it's natural. Yet this is usually from strangers. I may just take you up on that drink if I'm in Boston - thanks again, Elli, always a pleasure. Yes, some of our exchanges have been fun, for sure ;-)

I've just been through something similar with personal and public accusations being bandied around about me an my work. I say that if you're well intentioned, like yourself, the good guys win. So keep it up, buddy - play your own game and don't let the turkeys get you down. BTW - if the Canadians won't have you, come and experience Australia. We love positive people who "have a go" and of course, enjoy a beer. You'd fit in nicely :) Cheers, Iggy Mate,

You are remarkably consistent in your presentation on-line! You and I have had those awkward moments when 140 characters just doesn't express one's humor or other thoughts very well. I've always been really touched by how you've taken the time to check in with me and clarify. If you're going to play big, people are going to react. If you take a stand, people are going to react. Others have said it way more eloquently than I ever could but sometimes people have to bring others down out of smallmindedness or jealousy or other motivation. Let it go. It's them, not you. If I may be so bold as to advise you, take the time to relax, re-group, re-charge so you have the energy to remember what is important to you, who is important to you, and why. I'm delighted that we met on Twitter and I recommend you to others whenever I have the chance. You have an invitation for a drink or meal whenever you visit Boston. Cheers! Danny,
