        Twitter, like any communication tool, is only capable of magnifying what is already there within the user. It can't create something from nothing, it can't make one into something they are not. Bret is a cruel person, and not very clever. Twitter made that more obvious.

        I'll give him some slack on this because I cut ties with print newspapers like his a along time ago for the same reason: I saw no value in them.

        Bret Stephens is not my guy, but he's right. Twitter brings out the worst in *all* of us. Makes us dogmatic, self-righteous, nasty. Frank Lloyd Wright said he could design a house in such a way that a couple living there would divorce within a year. Twitter has a similar design.

        Maybe he needs to learn to make his promises rare and few and above all genuine, so that he keeps to them.

        Bret Stephens doesn't seem to be designed for interaction with the plebs. It is probably for the best. Twitter can be nasty, but the information is fast and the interactions can be a lot of fun.
