Hah, yeah; problem is there is no way to tie tweet to thread; but nothing makes sense in 140 char chunks alone.

It's the out-of-context quoting. I once sad a *minimal* UBI wasn't enough and people took that to mean I said arbeit macht frei.

One can be OOC-quoted anywhere but carving things up makes it inevitable. Also no idea what will blow up.

It's affordance collision: threading allows longer thoughts but it's an illusion. I shouldn't thread since OOC seems inevitable.

Yes. Last issue was I explicitly said "sorry, can't do definition in 140; longer later" got deliberately ignored.

So no defense against such bad faith... Would happen with blogs too. I tend to engage people so disappointing..

I've had fairly good experiences; journalists often email me if they want quote; do I can respond explicitly.

tabloid-y outlets gets a lot of mileage from breaking context like that, but if you're not just trying to make fun, good to email
