The ongoing saga of comedy versus Twitter

Is Twitter too quick to condemn comedians? Or do they just need less offensive jokes?

That's the question on everyone's lips after beloved British comedian Stephen Fry quit Twitter over backlash he received while presenting the BAFTA Awards.

Joking that award-winning costume designer Jenny Beaven - and his long time personal friend - was dressed like a "bag lady", users on the social media site inundated Fry with so much criticism he abruptly quit.

And he's not the only one, with a strIng of controversies being fuelled on Twitter - but were they really that controversial?

Or does everyone need to make a cup of tea and take five?
