    I tweeted that because apparently my "vocal fry" is unbearable to some % of Joe Rogan fans who want to tell me how annoying my voice is :)

        @avantgame I really enjoyed your episode of @joerogan's podcast. It's the reason I started following you. Nothing wrong with your voice.

        @avantgame my mistake was trying to reason with the few who chose to attack instead of discuss

        @dtakes23 @avantgame There's no reasoning with unreasonable people. If you're going to engage them at all, best thing to do is mock them.

        @dtakes23 @avantgame I think it's only the same if you start name calling.Mocking them is a way of expressing your opinion without debating.

        @RodrickFuhr @avantgame I guess it depends on the execution. Ya gotta have some finesse, I've seen some that were pretty brutal.

        @dtakes23 @avantgame Yeah there's no need to be nasty even if they are. Sarcastically agreeing with them is usually the best way to disagree

        @avantgame poor employment of the socratic method. Obviously afraid of actual content of your words. Let's push things forward. We listen.

        @avantgame Amazing they couldn't make an intelligent comment on the content of what you said so settled on whining over imagined defects.
