Will someone who tweets tell that dude to stick to his usual schtick of clever quips?



His conspicuous and ridiculous little self-promotion stunt to get followers is sophomoric and pretty transparent.

I think preseason anxiety is starting to get to you my brother. It's okay, we'll get through this together.

For what its worth, Ive found it pretty funny. But I have to admit that I hope that he doesn't get 100 retweets to see where he goes with that.

I think that is hilarious and classic Mark Durrant. I don't see how anyone could take offense to it.

Durrant's best tweet about his "Big Announcement" -

"On a scale of one to ten, it is big."

Either he reads CC or he has taken serious flack from others.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: I sincerely apologize if I offended anyone with my big announcement tweets. I take my role as a tweeter very seriously.

Those tweets are not indicative of who I am as a twitterer or person. I apologize to my family for any embarrassment my tweets have caused.





Maybe he needs to "leave the game" like Dustin Johnson to get some treatment. Kind of like taking my kids away frm video games.



Hey mark. We love ya. get some help and then come back to the game you love. We will miss your clever quips.

Exactly. Furthermore, his apology tweets are also meant to be funny. He's a snarky one. I like it!

OK, it's possible that I might be slow. If He's really being snarky and mocking Vai, then Credit him. But what about the while serious tweet?

I always felt it was a jab at social media and the way people seem to always be dangling that "big news/announcement" out there to get more eyes on their account. hence his "adjusting website for all the new followers with the big new coming" tweet. Good stuff, and probably got him some eyes on his account.

We're all chatting about him...so it's working.

Anyone who thinks Mark was begging for attention or followers with his "big announcement" doesn't know him very well. This was not a publicity stunt. It was Mark being Mark. He has a twisted sense of humor. Oh and by the way, seconds after he posted that he had a "big announcement" soon, he posted the word ANNOUNCEMENT all in caps....get it... Big ANNOUNCEMENT. Seriously, get a sense of humor, he was just being a smart alec.

But it's so challenging to have a quick-witted sense of humor. It takes so much effort.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever read a serious tweet from Him.

Even so, clearly he has a issue with someone. And why go to the extent of invoking the name of his family in his "apology"? And if he is mocking Vai, then man up and confront. I usually like his quips, but he went to conspicuous lengths to drive his point home. Either way, he still needs to maintain some credibility, and he has lost some with me--not that he cares. its There sure seems to be more in play than just trying to be a funny guy.
