      And I should be clear: Twitter's worth criticizing simply because it *is* important, and has far better values than most big tech companies.

      @anildash huh??? I was making fun of his propensity for silly hyperbole. I didn't say anything about the topic or even reference it!

      @dickc then apologies if I misread; it looked a lot like "that guy isn't credible on this topic", which is separate from the issue at hand.

      @anildash eh, not my point, no. I *think* I have an acute understanding of the topic & host of related issues. Of course, proof is in deeds

      @dickc more relevant is that the issue is worth discussing on its own, and with women, separate from any misgivings about the criticism.

      @dickc I'm not sure I concur? But at any rate, would love to hear more about the work of inclusion, because I (we all) could learn from it.

      @anildash Well, that's exactly it. The whole thing has to be about more than checking a box & saying "we did it!" & you DO concur. SO MUCH!

      .@dickc No Dick, it isn't about checking a box and you didn't do enough. You have a social responsiblity. You have to lead--not make excuses

      @wadhwa you're not seeing my point. you give people an easy out by just checking a box. The issues are much bigger than checking any 1 box.

          @anildash @wadhwa @dickc get everyone in a room + talk. If that doesn't surface some good ideas, then move on to full-contact kickboxing.

          @dickc @wadhwa to hire someone on the basis of their gender would be sexist. Symbolic or not, it would be patronizing.
