      Beautiful, ironically-detached ingroup signaling. Perfectly tuned to the algorithmic peculiarities of Twitter. The best.

      I don't know, I'm of the mind that in-group signaling and social media mob mentalities among journalists have done calamitous damage, as the Trump/Russia fiasco vividly illustrates.

      I, for one, respect you Michael! I mean I've gotten benefit from your writing & engaging with you on twitter. I do feel it would be good for you to step back a little and maybe also see the humor of something like Chris Hooks tweet.

      Chris Hooks perfectly represents the perpetual irony-overdosing online mentality that I find not just incredibly obnoxious but pernicious. Also Jeet, thanks for the compliment but there's a big "irony" in you advising anyone else to "step back a little" from Twitter.

          Is this dude saying dril caused russiagate because it kind of sounds like he’s saying dril caused russiagate and I won’t stand for that kind of nonsense. Blame Rachel Maddow all you want but good god, Chris Hooks and 1000 DSA members posting spongebob memes didn’t cause this.

          Somehow it became completely socially acceptable to be a dick to you. Everyone felt it was appropriate to take shitty personal pot shots at you even before the Mueller report. I think you're wrong a lot, but I feel like all these people would be lashing out in the same way.

          It's not enough that we, the public, is gutted over the utter failure of Russiagate inspired by mob-journalism, now we have to endure another insult in the form of a creepy Michael Tracey bukkake by sore losers.
