@kofiemeritus I don't want feed the trolls :) Sooner or later they show up @tmsrugepic.twitter.com/xaoQIjiLzM
@calestous Hallmark of bad governance in Africa is keeping those w differing views in check: imprisonment, intimidation, etc @kofiemeritus
@tmsruge I was blocked by the foreign minister in Ghana when I responded to her tweet ridiculing #occupyflagstaff demo @calestous
@kofiemeritus My point exactly. If they can’t take criticism, they shouldn’t occupy hot seats that attract [deserved] criticism @calestous
@tmsruge I am managing my time. Sorry if that is a problem for you. @kofiemeritus
@calestous Managing fine is understood, but deleting tweets which educate people is not clearly understood as managing time @tmsruge
@kofiemeritus I won't ever direct you on how you use your time and timeline. That is your choice and I respect it @tmsruge
@calestous Well understood! @tmsruge
@calestous Being ignored is a troll’s kryptonite. Don’t engage, they go away on their own. Managing them is counterintuitive @kofiemeritus
@tmsruge I have had them show up months after the debate has ended braying for blood :) They stalk timelines @kofiemeritus
@calestous Trolls, just like “the opposition” never go away. We praise open debate & criticism as hallmark of modern democracy.
@tmsruge I don't tell people what to do with their timeline. Thanks.
@calestous Think it is worth considering the unintended consequence: loss of the educational value of open debate @kofiemeritus
@tmsruge I perfectly agree! @calestous We are not trolls Prof. :-)
@kofiemeritus You're not. The trolls come later. @tmsruge
@calestous Prof. Sometimes, it's worth feeding the trolls. We debated on this at #GV2015 - @globalvoices @tmsruge
@kofiemeritus Did you also discuss what to add in their food :) @globalvoices @tmsruge
@calestous Heh! just thought about irony of your article on better leadership in Africa & deleting conversations w trolls @kofiemeritus
