    It's sad to see someone I respect attacking someone else I respect on Twitter. But the surprising thing, considering the fog of war that generally prevails here, is that this happens so rarely. Perhaps it's because I wouldn't follow someone who initiated a lot of attacks.

        Whats an attack on Twitter? Its a free market of ideas and in its purest form should call out poor takes (definitely outright fraudulent charlatans the way @nntaleb takes them out) and thats a feature not a bug

        Criticism of the person and not their ideas might be a good start at a definition.

        It's what I am currently witnessing between @farooqkperogi and @AMADICHIMA both Ph.ds.

        I do both a lot, but that's no good in this case. I like both these people.

        I read something yesterday which best reflects my views and might apply to the underlying issues of your case here: "Elites are perfectly happy to stoke culture wars, when what we need is a class war."

        I felt sad when this happened between you and @dhh in 2016. But it taught me a great lesson two years later. It taught me that our greatness lies in our differences. We contain multitudes.

        Am I in an alternate 🌎? "The fog of war". An investor agreed with another person that it would be great for you (a powerful voice in tech) to include more types of people in your list of "best investors." Jessica, tell your husband to go find his tea before it gets cold!

        Just an FYI not an attacker here either -- just was waiting for some files to download needed for my coding class -- and saw Arlan's thoughtful video. :-)
