I didn't like that either, but put it in context. It's 1 of 17,000 tweets. There aren't many users with that many tweets who haven't lost their cool and called someone else a name. It's one of the most common things

That's part of it, but I think it's more envy driven. He took his winnings at Paypal and bet it all to transform 2 industries. While most of us would have retired, blew it on a mansion and binge watch Game of Thrones in our privat

Free speech is a core liberal value. I can't believe how many people are confused about this. [Free speech and the open town square is how we got away from the atrocities you outline. There is no societal progress without free speech,

That's right. Twitter has problems, but that's not one of them. What are the problems? 1. It has a free speech problem. The defacto public town square doesn't believe in free speech! 2. It has a political problem. Twitter ben
