      True story: Used to go on MSNBC a lot. Then the invitations dried up. Don't know why. Maybe I sucked or was critical of the network or I'm too rude online. Never looked into it. Life went on. Somehow I managed not to topple into an obsessive cycle of grievance and recriminations.

      Isn't that a failure on your part? I mean you could've turned the experience into the fuel for 10,000 bitter tweets?

          I just wasn't prepared to use the word "colossal" as often as that would've required.

          This is petty. You don't have to contribute to Twitter being 8th grade cliques trying to score points.

          Your avatar is very condescending. Don’t listen to him Brian.

          I feel like this is maybe him dipping his toe in the water. Try to be more encouraging.
