It will be better to create my account on twitter fast, before someone else take my name and starts insulting Phil Ivey. I don't want him chasing me in Las Vegas, if I get there one day hehe.

Doyle handled the situation like a man and confronted Patrick. Patrick gave his honest reply so their issue should be squashed. Observers of twitter are being what the program suggests them to be, twits.
