Absolutely, if we can convince
@voxdotcom and@HuffPost never to stir up online lynch mobs. If they respect that detente for a solid year, then conservatives, centrists, and libertarians might take it seriously and do the same.23 replies 51 retweets 485 likes -

As do I. I hope you'll change your mind as well. I think Jon Haidt has it right in the original tweet.

I see it as a matter of maximizing effectiveness. If we are attempting to change their behavior, my view is that we should hold ourselves to the standard of behavior we expect from them. That alone immunizes us against accusations of hypocrisy and strengthens our moral standing.
