      Beautiful, ironically-detached ingroup signaling. Perfectly tuned to the algorithmic peculiarities of Twitter. The best.

      I don't know, I'm of the mind that in-group signaling and social media mob mentalities among journalists have done calamitous damage, as the Trump/Russia fiasco vividly illustrates.

      I, for one, respect you Michael! I mean I've gotten benefit from your writing & engaging with you on twitter. I do feel it would be good for you to step back a little and maybe also see the humor of something like Chris Hooks tweet.

          Chris Hooks perfectly represents the perpetual irony-overdosing online mentality that I find not just incredibly obnoxious but pernicious. Also Jeet, thanks for the compliment but there's a big "irony" in you advising anyone else to "step back a little" from Twitter.

          Looks like you’ve found a quote for the back cover of your first book, Chris.

          I don't read you regularly but from what I've seen you "respect" Michael so much that you often feel compelled to offer him your personal counsel and advise him on his actions--publicly on Twitter! Do you feel so compelled with anyone else?

          Yes, go see humor in a bitter, petty swipe from someone who resents Tracey being right about Russiagate and veils that resentment in performative glibness. I do feel it would be good for you to stop punishing Tracey for daring to not embrace warmonger Hillary

          I think you’ve got MT dead to rights Jeet, but let’s not put too fine a point on it: it’s his utter lack of any ability to laugh at himself. It’s downright Trumpian.
