'Your music makes me want to cave my own skull in with a hammer,' went one of this year's many broadsides tweeted at pop singer James Blunt. 'Be my guest,' Blunt tweeted back.
James Blunt took on a year's worth of haters on Twitter, attacking, deflecting and disarming them with a skillful blend of wit and self-deprecation. The Poke compiled a list of his 30 best counterattacks, declaring him 'winner' of Twitter in 2013. A few reasons why:
'I cannot put into words how much I hate James Blunt,' wrote one attacker. 'Try singing it,' Blunt suggested.
'I want to kick James Blunt... repeatedly... I dont know why,' another tweeted. 'Easy spelling mistake as K and L are right beside each other,' Blunt replied.
The full blow-by-blow can be found on Blunt's amazingly feisty Twitter feed. The singer was still throwing punches on New Year's Eve. Clearly, he won't go down without a fight.
