Online discussions are a lot more scatterbrained than sitting down to read a book. People are more willing to take a second & more logical look before responding when they cannot tweet back.
Also, this has a lot of reasons why the reader is right to feel a certain way.
- rgoulter 5y agoI saw a comic from 1898 "Un diner en famille" https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Un_d%C3%AEner_en_famille https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Un_d%C3%AEner_en_famille which I understand the captions to be "Let's not discuss the Dreyfus affair" and "they discussed it". I won't disagree that the internet can exasperate things like this.. the comic feels _too_ familiar in the internet-age.
