James Blunt enjoys online abuse

Los Angeles: English singer-songwriter James Blunt says he enjoys being abused online on social networking sites such as Twitter.

The “Bonfire Heart” hitmaker doesn`t mind getting nasty messages on Twitter and likes using the social networking website to engage in humour with his critics. "I used to tweet a lot more because I was being abused and I rather enjoy being abused, because I`m a sado-masochist,” contactmusic.com quoted Blunt as saying. "I was in the army and I was abused much more there! It`s only words but I can understand why young people can feel bullied by that kind of thing, but for an adult like myself, it`s not abuse, I enjoy it. "And I really enjoy writing back and having a laugh with them. I don`t think we should take Twitter that seriously,” he added.
