Objecting to being prevented from speaking to people who want to hear you is *not* the Fallacy of Demanding to be Heard. That fallacy is when you insist you have the right to be heard by people who *don't* want to hear you.https://twitter.com/jarodcampbell1/status/983338389238898689 …

Yeah, agreed. I wonder if e.g. Twitter lacks a meaningful "street corner" on which folk can "proselytise" (street preaching still *feels* like expression after all). Perhaps explains some of the attention-seeking; after all where *else* is there here except someone's timeline?
-
I'm not sure what you mean. People should be able to say whatever they want on Twitter. Other people have the means not to listen to them.
-
I'm suggesting that "old fashioned life" offered opportunities for people to scratch their opinion-sharing itch, that posting from a low-follower personal Twitter account doesn't cut the mustard. And maybe that explains all the attention-hungry folk with unsophisticated opinions
-
How? Surely it's easier to get access to people now?
-
I'm doubtful it's easier for most folk to feel that they are being listened to. But maybe you're right.
-
You used to have to write to people if you wanted them to hear your ideas. Now you can just tweet them.
-
You make a good point. I'm now remembering the time I whined at
@Baddiel and he actually responded.
