The word "abuse" has become so watered down from overuse. Clearly, the title of this article misuses it. Rebecca Adlington wasn't abused. She's the one who chose to participate in Twitter in the first place, thereby subjecting herself to other people's opinions.

If you don't want to hear what others have to say, don't join a social networking site!

What an idiotic, illgical comment by Duh. Joining a social network site does not mean that you should be subjected to vile and unwarranted abuse (and that's exactly what it was, check your dictionary).

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Gemini

Today's Full Moon, a Lunar Eclipse, will have a big impact on your relationships during the next few months, so stand by. If the cracks have been starting to show in a partnership, this could be when they turn into major fault lines that demand action. Can they be repaired or do they spell the end of the line? It may feel like a crisis but that doesn't mean it really is one, so don't over-react.
