OK. I prefer to communicate in writing, tbh. Gives time for comprehension & reflection & makes dodging harder.

I think the exact opposite. Writing is PERFECT for dodging. You just DONT address the point

But everyone can see you're doing that whereas in conversation, easier to deflect & carry on somewhere else & then the thread is lost.

It depends on the audience. Twitter especially tends to lend itself to biased audiences that don't hold you accountable

Hold each other accountable when you have a conversation. Audiences will do their own thing wherever they are.

Yeah but if I'm intellectually dishonest I can just NOT do that. Surely you've run into that on Twitter? Not possible in conversation cause

Yes, then the convo ends & you don't bother trying to talk to that person again & everyone can see why.

Whereas in face to face conversation, you may only realise you've been deflected from the point when you listen to it again later.

I like Twitter coz it gives me time to make sure I've understood the other's point & that I'm responding in a unambiguous way.

It slows the process down but I agree this only works if people are sincere & discussing in good faith. I tend to assume they are.
