When people do this, they treat the one tweet as if you’ve never tweeted anything else. Because most of their activity is just cannibalizing the tweets of other people and using them to distill Rageahol

i could understand not giving me the benefit of the doubt if i were prone to gloating about people getting covid, but i’m not. it’s just opportunism. i’m a never trumper, they dislike me for it, i gave them a new reason to dislike me, et voila.

The Trumpers are bad enough, but the anti-anti-Trumpers on Twitter are the ones who really just poke around the bottom of the aquarium like grumpy catfish looking for turds left by the prettier fish above them.

I still like you Allah, but this was a bad tweet (we've all made them) and I wouldn't read too much into criticism of this based on priors or otherwise or make it an NT pity party. It's just the nature of this horrible, horrible place.

I think that’s right. But Mark, I will add that the people who scour the tweets of the NTers are a little more vigilant and not particularly fair minded about trying to find inconsistency or meanness. That just goes with the territory.

Again, I would caution you for thinking you're in some unique position here. Believe me, I could cite chapter and verse if I wanted to make some point about hypocrisy here. But I don't think that helps anyone -- the key is to just recognize Twitter brings out the worst.

I wish I could disagree but I can’t. Fair.

I don't think it is empirically impossible to argue which faction is the worst on this platform, & I've been on the wrong side of several of them. But it's easy to think the people who've been after you are worse than the people who haven't.

I think some of the mobs here are worse than others, but I will agree that no one mob holds the crown. I’d also agree that they are spread out among various causes and positions.

For the record, the craziest people aren't the Nazis, the Tankies, the Chapos, MAGAland, the Buckley Clubbers, the PodBro crowd, etc. The craziest people are the BeyHive.
