This is why overall I believe in being Very Online as a better adaptive strategy for postmodernity than waldenponding. One illuminating thing like bean-can conversation is worth a thousand dumb-ass swamps where you learn nothing.

Replying to @vgr
I mean... maybe this is what you’re ascribing to “moron” but even in that 2 tweet context that just looks like very heavy handed sarcasm

yeah that's the benefit of doubt I meant to give him via "moron" since it's not a particularly smart topic to show off your sarcasm chops. But next screenshot I added to the threat seems non-sarcastic anti-semitism.
