    Ironically, after a dumb tweet has been amply rebutted, the subsequent excessive pile-on gives the original tweeter a legitimate grievance that he/she would not have otherwise had

        If it's a public figure, I don't think they have any legitimate claim to sympathy, but they do have a legitimate claim to pointing out how social media mobs are often hallmarks of disproportionality and unreason

        I was thinking that in regards to Bari Weiss ~5 min ago. Tho I disagree with her entirely. And she’s certainly used her paper of record platform towards this end for others. Normies vs editors who are supposed to represent pub interest?

        Bad tactic universally? Or does target / power matter? Are people ever irredeemable? Could other neocons like Frum pose a grievance about being piled on when Intercept folks point out his bad tweets? (I think trolling is not very humane, myself.)

        Well, at least you’re self aware about your problem. That’s the first step towards getting better. Not that I’m holding out hope.
