      I love when you question someone and their followers attack you rather than allow for a critical discussion. I'm not blaming @avantgame

      @ginrob_pt your tone of questions was condescending and rude. Next time you "question" someone, do it directly and with a little respect?

          @avantgame btw ignoring the question and attacking the person isn't terrific form on your part either

          @ginrob_pt conflating issues. Are we talking about societal stability & quality of life, or personal happiness? Latter is up to the individ.

          @ginrob_pt … conjoined? No. I said “conflated.” Very different word. You’re arguing 2 different points as if there were one.

          @avantgame @ginrob_pt Tucker, critical discussion isn't really possible in 250 characters. Maybe engage Gameful: http://gameful.org/groups
