That is such a great point. Twitter almost invariably unmasks idiots more than it makes heroes. Tragically - I have seen many people I admire look like fools.

That is such a great point. Twitter almost invariably unmasks idiots more than it makes heroes. Tragically - I have seen many people I admire look like fools. In particular, a lot of users will 'let loose' their beef, their cynical grind on Twitter, the thing that upsets them. Consistently. It's one thing to be 'angry' in person, with people you know - that can work - but when you do it in public, without the humane context, it just feels really unsympathetic and people look bad. I think this is what happens when you give a man a smartphone, and have them start to just 'say stuff' 20 times a day. We don't have that much insight. We just get ornery, like a smoker needing their next cigarette. I think this applies to everyone. One minute I really respect a person for their moderation, conscientiousness - the next moment they're jumping on a stupid meme, over reacting to something etc..
