RE: Tweeting twits -- I only saw the one, Erebus something or other, who later claimed he was trying to make a joke but ran into the 140-character wall. Whatever. Learn to edit, pal.
That said, even if Erebus-whatever's tweet was meant to be serious (whatever) and even if I agreed with it (I don't) -- it doesn't even logically follow from the comic.
Not that you need me to say it, but carry on, Jeph.

Thank you. One of the best comics ever, and definitely enlightening.
Also why I never listen to any of my cats.

"I just think the whole 'girl can't cope with the breakup and needs therapy but he's totally fine' schtik is insensitive."
I totally fail do see how it could even remotely be the basis for a joke. I say it shows a total lack of basic reading skills since, as you said, it has absolutely nothing to do with anything happening or having happened in the comic.
FunkyTuba:
It looks like that twitter account (and the guy's comic) were recently created (1 month, 2 months, respectively)... I wouldn't be surprised if he made that comment simply to garner some attention, since it obviously didn't take into account Dora's history/the greater context of the comic/etc/whathaveyou/moob/owls.
While I'd support new webcomics generally, taking a potshot at a veteran like this seems like behavior not to be encouraged. IOW this is probably a case of "don't feed the troll"
If his comment was sincere, then he'd do well to stop trying to teach Jeph to suck eggs
