It is quite hard to predict, when you say something, what people will pretend you said instead. And in fact I think these explosions are somewhat nondeterministic. Some things that could be attacked never are. Others sit quietly for a while, then suddenly leap the fence.

Replying to @paulg @gaberivera
By "leap the fence" I mean spread to a new audience, who are not interested in the topic of the tweet but in the tweet itself as an (apparent) instance of some heresy. But whether that happens depends on a lot of random factors you can't predict.

It's also unpredictable, for similar reasons, when a tweet will become unusually popular. Some tweets get 10x the likes I'd have expected, others 1/10.
Loading seems to be taking a while.
