Unfortunately twitter doesn't seem to be presenting the thread of Mike's replies any more, which seems like a failing of the platform.
- norikki 9y agoDo you mean these replies? Al Binnie-Lubbock @alastairis · Jul 26 Replying to @MikeStuchbery_ and @PrisonPlanet I enjoyed this thread apart from the ableism in the first tweet. Not cool. 4 38 Mike Stuchbery Mike Stuchbery @MikeStuchbery_ · Jul 26 I apologize unreservedly. I will do better.
- mhw 9y agoNo. Mike originally replied in a thread of several messages, each a reply to the previous one. When I first read the thread a few days ago twitter would show you all his replies in one page so you could read through them. The Telegraph seem to have replicated the thread into the article they've written about the incident: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/27/alt-right-commentator-gets-schooled-historian-diversity-roman/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/27/alt-right-comment... My guess is that as the thread became popular and more people replied to parts of it, twitter favours presenting more of the recent replies and the original thread becomes harder to see.
