      Obviously, I think leftists are less wrong than rightists coz I am one, although I have more in common, I hope, with reasonable centre-rightists than unreasonable far-leftists. But this is important. Start with an assumption that most people are sincere & well-intentionedhttps://twitter.com/EPoe187/status/989873200115875840 …

      Bo Winegard @EPoe187
      Leftists might be wrong, but this as uncharitable as asserting that Paul Ryan wants to kill poor people. People generally want to do the right thing and have strong moral concerns and desires. Appeal to those. https://twitter.com/RubinReport/status/989514036927582208 …

      Some people will be insincere and ill-intentioned, obviously, but if you start with an assumption that all members of a group who disagree with you are, all you can possibly achieve is further antagonism and polarisation.

      And, on that note, I seem to be back but I do have a new strategy for Twitter. It's going to involve engaging with only about 10% of the tweets I get. This will be necessary for my sanity.

      I have been thinking in terms of setting myself rules for tweets and tweeters I will not engage with but I think this is the wrong way round. Better to think in terms of those I will.

      I will go through as many tweets as I have time for in limited break times within a new work schedule I have to keep to strictly. I will respond to anything which seems worth responding to for any reason I feel inspired to respond to it. That is the whole of the new strategy.

      I'm probably going to still respond to quite a lot and tweet way more than average but the point is, I don't have to. I need to internalise this rule. I do not have to respond to anyone or anything at all.

      No matter how busy Shazia & I have been today with a Quillette piece, you’ve still managed to be busier. Just saying ;)

          I can't be doing with arguments right now. :) I will rejoin the fray, no doubt.

          Ha. I have been doing 8 hour working days for some time now. It just means I get very little recreation time or sleep coz online shit takes up nearly as much time. This needs remedying & I am determined to do so.
