      This may be a first: I just blocked someone on twitter. I tweeted about steel imports, he criticized me for not knowing diff between steel and iron. I tweeted about something else, he rando-splains to me the difference between coal and charcoal. I ask for thread drop, he...

      2/ To be fair, I did misuse one word as a synonym for the other...but in the context of tariffs, not metallurgy. So it was a real NDGT moment: me: we'll start hiking when the sun comes up him: AKSHUALLY the sun stays still and the earth rotates... https://twitter.com/GolfNorman/status/971430293361086466 …

      3/ a clarification about rotation would absolutely make sense in one context, but not the other. Hell, a clarification that "tariff applies to steel but not iron" would be relevant. But this was just pedantry. And I can forgive pedantry. Just not twice AND refusing to drop.

      4/ I am almost NEVER interested in hearing unsolicited information or advice EXCEPT in a technical conversation. One thing that really bugs me about spergs (despite the fact that I am one - I guess this is the 'self hating Jew' of nerddom?) is lack of awareness of context.

      5/ There are social situations. There are political conversations. There are technical conversations. What is appropriate in one is not appropriate in another.

      6/ Also, spergs often fail to think through the emotional valence that information provides at certain points in time. You mention you MIGHT ask XYZ out on a date. He says "she blew the whole football team". USEFUL INFORMATION!
