No...pretty sure he had it right: it's a sewer. The rest of us that remain are just sewer workers who haven't yet had their fill...

But he is right that twitter is a pretty noxious place though. Most of these people would never say some of the insulting things that they routinely tweet at others, in real life.

Not sure I'm buying that Twitter represents a marked advance in the coordination of human intelligence. It seems to me that it more often acts as a heckler to thwart the exchange of opinion which some (typically, third) party finds objectionable.

There are very very few media "professionals" who "handle" Twitter. The problem is you can't see it from the inside. From outside the "profession" it looks like watching a dissociative hive mind arguing with itself out loud in public.

Will be sorry to see you go. Like losing a friend you agree with and whose opinions and honesty you appreciate 97% of the time.

On the one hand I do agree with Stephens that Twitter is a sewer. On the other hand if you're a media professional you have little choice but to use it and it's not terribly difficult to be better than its worst elements. This episode makes Stephens look pretty bad.

I don’t think choosing to get away from vapid, ignorant assholes hurling unfounded insults is a “problem.” Twitter just allows anonymous people to show others how awful they are. The problem is us. But choosing to disengage from that isn’t a character flaw.

Do you have any serious criticisms with how Twitter is used, that would place the company at fault?

Bret doesn't like Twitter for the same reason his articles no longer allow comments
