Why do intelligent people think it's wise to take a stand on a medium as crippled and incendiary as Twitter? Regardless of the merits of your views or where they lie on the political spectrum, you're basically putting on a seal suit and diving into a tank of hungry sharks.
- DanielBMarkham 8y agoI've been thinking about your comment for the last couple of days. It was quite piercing. I don't have a good reply. The best I have is that Twitter seems to do something that other forms of communication do not. When it works is when I throw out some technical issue I'm struggling with and people chime in and help. When it doesn't work is when I try to provoke or lash out emotionally because nobody listens to me. I wish there was much more of the first and much less of the second.
