    Folks, I've been on Twitter for ten years, had a blog for twenty, and have been a professional writer for more than a quarter of a century now. If you *didn't* find something I said that was egregiously dumbass (particularly in isolation), you simply aren't trying hard enough.

        I mean, I can think of some things I've written even just a couple of years back where today I would be "yeeeah, no, that was stupid of me to say." I usually don't delete those because a) it's useful to see my evolution, b) nothing online really disappears anyway.

        I'm generally not ashamed of things I've written in the past, even when I would disagree with them now, because they are snapshots of where I was in a particular place in time. I can own what I've said, and acknowledge I'm in a different place today. It's not difficult to do.

        So, yes. If you to go through a quarter century of my public writing, you'll find dumbass things I've written in there, for whatever definition of "dumbass" you choose. That's just a fact. Also a fact: I don't mind having it out there. You can see how I got from there to here.

        (PS: I'm very likely to time to time to say dumbass things here in the present, too. None of us are perfect, especially me, and I still have things to work on. It's a lifetime journey, and I'm still on it. Just an FYI. But I'll try to say *fewer* dumbass things. Promise.)

        It's like you're not even *trying* to hide those "burrito" tweets.

        What could *possibly* be worse than what we already know about his burritos?

        Breaking: Scalzi refuses to point out his own gaffes. Leaves that to the rest of us.

        I'm a new fan, but I have to say you are not somebody that causes my finger to hover over the block button. You've got my respect and love. Keep doing what you're doing!
