Twitter is garbage, I would never have an account.
 
I ask that you exercise your moderator superpowers to add two news options:

Option #3: "I don't have a Twitter account"
Option #4: "Fawlty has a tiny wiener."

Option #5 : "Trotsky has a big wiener."
Option #6 : "Trotsky is Anthony wiener."

I'm not calling for anyone's job.

So when Dan Harmon posts a video, on twitter, of him putting an infants hand on his crotch we're not supposed to criticize that? He should be protected from scrutiny?
Apparently we are not allowed to say things about such sacred topics like pedophilia and the "twitter mob" (something the left created) needs to stop. What a hill for the left to die on.
 
Suddenly the left hates Twitter mobs now that they are being used against them and not conservatives. Sorry ho, now it's your turn

Suddenly the right loves Twitter now that they can use it against the left..
 
It's a nice sentiment and all, but, Pandora's box and all that.
And besides, it was the left that started this shit. Now that it's biting them in the ass, we call it off?
And besides that, I've never had a twitter account.
My thoughts exactly. This is what motherfuckers wanted. Ask and you shall receive.

Wrong. I'll be fucked in half before I use twitter. It's just sooo fucking satisfying to watch you guys squirm and shrink back from the monster you yourselves have created.
Like I said, eat your fucking liver, you will find no quarter given here.
 
Nope, still fighting Twitter. You are just upset the weapon you used against others has now turned against you.
Nope, I don't use Twitter, nice try though.<LucyBless>

I see, I clearly had a large role creating this "monster". You clowns never get old, or more intelligent.
 
This is hilarious.
If they left turtles up at the first sign of reciprocity in a war of words, how will they fare if the revolution they think they want comes to real violence and bloodshed?
 
so you're saying your opinion on the matter is worthless because you don't use twitter?

As long as you can admit you are nothing more than a hypocrite, with your outrage porn.
 
Pointlessly ambiguous OP.

You're leaving way too much room for interpretation.
 
Simple thing here. Sign up to commit, at least in the WR, to not join any Twitter Mobs that look to take somebody's livelihood for jokes, or ugly comments or behavior from the past that no longer represent that person's views and commitments.

This will require that you understand the difference between criticism of relevant views and shit-mobbing, but I trust that about 65% of us are capable of that.


Super long Jerry Maguire manifesto:

This shit has gone too far. Everybody is looking for any fake excuse to wield Twitter against people for comments that were not serious, or views they no longer hold, for any purpose that might defame somebody for the purpose of taking away their job, by pressuring overly-reactive corporations. This is not an apolitical commitment, but it's a nonpartisan one.

Anyway, shame on us, this is garbage and we need to knock it off. We're angle-shooting the hell out of free speech principles. Just because we can get away with having everybody we don't like fired, does not mean we should.

This should include about 30% of #metoo incidents as well, but that's another more complicated mess.


Examples of shit-mobbing:

Going after comedians and others who are joking (whether or not the joke is funny)
(Sarah Silverman, James Gunn, much of Ann Coulter, much of Roseanne)​
Going after people for racist or other hateful/ignorant/offensive comments they have since disavowed
(Josh Hader, Sarah Jeong, Ben Shapiro)​
Going after anybody without giving them the benefit of the doubt
(Roseanne's latest)​

I would agree, but it's too late. The politics of personal destruction is part of our culture now. If you have an offensive joke or some candid non-PC insights, save them for your wife and close friends. Otherwise, you better be self-employed and self-sufficient.
 
I'm not much for joining mobs nor am I into people losing their livelihoods over inconsequential thoughts. Sign me up for a maybe, to be determined on a case by case basis. Unless "no twitter mobs" means I can't ridicule and mock blatant idiocy, in which case hell naaaw. Just because I don't want someone to be unemployed doesn't mean I want to opt out of picking low hanging fruit from time to time.
 
No one cared when they took Paula Deen's livelihood away because she called someone the Nword. That person robbed her.

Now we are all supposed to give a shit because a couple liberals got wrapped up into it?

Sleep in the bed you made. Be the better example, eventually maybe we'll follow.

With that said, I don't do Twitter mob..
I just don't give my personal money to people I can't stand.
