@paulg @mathowie you know @baconmeteor has a point, why even bring up such a nuanced, complex, contentious opinion at all on Twitter? Why?

@codinghorror@mathowie@baconmeteor I agree actually. I won't do that again. -
@paulg@mathowie@baconmeteor linking to blog post with a deeper explanation would work well. Twitter is awful for nuance, just terrible. -
@codinghorror@mathowie@baconmeteor Twitter tempts you to be lazy. "I don't want to write a whole essay about this; I'll just tweet it." -
@codinghorror@mathowie@baconmeteor That plus too much optimism about human nature and you have a recipe for disaster. -
@paulg@codinghorror@mathowie you actually seem pessimistic about humans, interpreting disagreement as a sign of trolling or bad faith -
@baconmeteor@codinghorror@mathowie After all these years I can distinguish fairly well, but the 140 char limit certainly doesn't help.

@mathowie That would have the disadvantage of making it harder to willfully misinterpret though, which would be less entertaining...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
