      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.

      How would not being able to ask questions in real time be BETTER for communication. For example I don't understand your point NOW. And if

      Then I can explain. In speech, people tend to listen less than wait for the opportunity to speak again & this can lead to talking past other

          I have found myself understanding less of the other's argument & expressing my own less well in real-time speech than if time to reflect.

          In my opinion that's because writing lends unearned confidence (generally not in you)

          I don't think so. I encounter more defensiveness in real-time speech where you don't have time to assess charitably & respond encouragingly

          But I suspect we will not agree here and this might be to do with different personality types more than any objective truth here.

          Yes, certainly. I'm not opposed to talking. Just find writing a better medium if both are sincere & I've no reason to think you wldn't be.

          Of course, you can do this deliberately online as well but much easier for me to not get carried off on this red herring & lose my thread.
