Social media is a mirror in the same way that baseball is a mirror. Individual personalities are tested and the fact we're playing it is because we're human, but the rules of baseball are not the rules of life. When we're playing baseball we're doing something very different from when we're relating to each other or spending time together. Twitter is a social game, and distorts the behavior of its participants. Its a fun house mirror, not a reflecting pool.

Baseball is a game, and a little bit of "relating to each other or spending time together" (which is why there are sometimes brawls). Twitter is "relating to each other or spending time together" to a much larger extent, even though some people are using it as a game or (more commonly) a business.

  Yes, twitter has more interpersonal than baseball does, but the points system looms large over every word.
