Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Josh Marshall Retweeted emptywheel

      I'm less worried than curious. Because it's not clear what argument I've actually made that you're disagreeing with. If you could point out an argument you disagree with I could work on getting worried about it.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/938934493158760448 …

      And to clarify, I'm not "going after" either. I'm pointing out problems with their arguments. That's supposed to be allowed but Josh appears worried about it.

      Josh: Is there a reason you're quote tweeting? Does direct discussion scare you? Or you will only do it with your TL helping you?

          He does this to keep his followers engaged. If every response is nested in a single thread we can't see it unless we were following the original tweet. I appreciate it, personally speaking.

          That’s why I do it. And sometimes to showcase something I like - or that I think is awful

          Yeah, I imagine it's for a variety of reasons, but in this case I'm guessing that's his motivation.

          Short explanation of what I meant before that I had a personal rule about not using the "reply" function on Twitter.

          I prefer there to be a record of what I'm responding to as well. I don't know why this feature seems to bother so many people this way.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/938937790498295813 …

          He has a policy of not replying. I don't quite get it, but that's what it is.
