- (a) "Exactamundo!!";
- (b) "Gold!!!! Keep it up Mark as there is to many people asleep at the wheel..";
- (c) "I could not have said it any better Mark [clapping, thumbs up emojis]";
- (d) "Well, to me, that's disgusting - I choose not to think about that part when thinking of my gay friends who, just like all humans, have bad & good ones.";
- (e) "Touche";
- (f) "My first laugh-out-loud moment for today, thanks Mark [tilted laughing, crying emoji]";
- (g) "Best come-back ever! [laughing, crying emoji]";
- (h) "About time someone didn't hold back on what everyone really thinks about these grubs.";
- (i) "Well said Mark.";
- (j) "Why does it need a label, other than facts?";
- (k) "Boom! There it is [smiling emoji], & it needs to be said";
- (l) "I reckon that should be @Peter_Fitz tweet of the week #FitzToTW ... but I'm sure it won't be"; and
- (m) "I think you're doing it wrong, Mark."
