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.

Obviously, if someone tweets me a valid criticism of something I have written, I will feel it needs a response but no more feeling I must respond to people who have decided to tell me what I think & why it makes me evil and/or stupid.

Also, going to feel free to move past tweets about topics I have grown tired of arguing about or that raise issues which I either don't know about or don't care about. That will remove about half of my most frustrating exchanges.

Someone may feel I have a responsibility to have an indepth discussion with them on the topic of whether or not God exists because I have expressed a view that he/she/it does not, but, in fact, I don't. I am weary of that debate & am allowed to state my view on it &leave it there

I used to love Twitter for enabling me to have the conversations I wanted to have and connect with all kinds of people from all over the world. I have not been loving it for a while now. I intend to fix this. I shall be taking my own advice.https://conatusnews.com/twitter-productive-conversation/ …

So, please excuse me if I ignore you when in the past we have had good conversations. I still love my tweeps. It will probably mean I haven't seen you or that I am getting too many tweets or that, on this occasion, I have nothing in me to contribute on that topic.

You wont mind if I still send the occasional silly joke I hope?

I tend to ignore them anyway but you can get some satisfaction from knowing I probably saw some and rolled my eyes at you in particular and men generally.
