man, i remember like 15 years ago when the Sun Times had a comment section. It was gold.

Criticizing social media for censorship isn't the same as wishing that $50 billion companies just tank into nothing because they are "bad". I don't trust the motives of any corporation other than profit. Plenty of pharma companies create and have created products meant to be more addictive than social media. I don't see you wishing that they disappear.

I believe that twitter is a net negative on society and has a negative effect on almost everyone who uses it and it makes their lives not as good. If there is a drug doing similar things then I also would hope that it disappears.

If I had to speculate, you are on twitter all the time and my point on how it effects your life is hitting a little bit too close to home so you are lashing out about it. That's why most people on here read my thoughts on twitter and didn't seem to care but it deeply offended you that I think twitter is "bad".

A candidate for the overused phrase thread: Twitter being shit is a feature, not a bug.

You are immediately a petty, condescending person in any discussion. When I said tanking a $50 billion company is a bad idea it was "lashing out". Now it's you are just an evil Twitter user. Great debate ability there. Net negative measured by what? It's created thousands of jobs and billions in value. We should wipe it all out because some people abuse it?

Go read your first two responses to me and tell me I'm the condescending one.

If you love Twitter that much go ahead and celebrate the valuation of it. I don't care.

WfR has several homes and is thus greater than you. he's allow to condescend us, the lesser people.

It was fine for FavreFan to repeatedly threaten me. To say that I need to die because of my empty life. Refuting that was the really insulting part.

You immediately made the discussion personal. It was "lashing out" to suggest that wiping out a $50 billion company might affect more lives than to dismiss it with a "who cares?". I mean employees, investors, people using it for businesses, journalists with followings all might care. So tens of thousands of people?

i thought it was just college kids

You got triggered by me saying "Who cares?"

You called my take laughably simplistic first. Maybe you meant that in a nice way though.

I didn't think your objection to my thoughts on how twitter is bad for society in general was that I wasn't considering the impact on twitter investors(which would be one person) and journalists, most of whom are part of the mainstream media anyways.

Society is being negatively effected, but at least employees are being paid to do it!

Stating Twitter is bad is laughably simplistic. And that’s your argument. And disagreeing with that is “lashing out”.

I gave a lot of reasons why Twitter is bad that you conviently ignored and instead pointed out that Twitter has investors.

If you want to have a conversation about the points I made then we can but you'd have to be less emotional about how great Twitter is to make it worthwhile.

If I had to speculate you are a miserable bitter person spending too much time on social media. Is that your example of not being emotional?

Last time I checked I’m not FavreFan. And if you really took his posts as threats you certainly didn’t act accordingly to someone who is legitimately concerned.

Having met all three of you in person, FF, WfR, and WZ, only WZ has a board persona that matches up with him in real life. All three are very nice and easy to converse with in person. FF is incredibly fun to hang out with because he spills drinks and generally does lots of dumb stuff.

FF and WfR are (were in FF’s case) willing to engage in needlessly long arguments that will never result in a meeting of the minds. I guess that is what this place is for….so have at it.

Wrong. I don't spend too much time on social media. You lucked into the rest.

Nah. The original Yahoo Finance message boards were great. There was a guy posting there named Robert Monski who actually had an SEC enforcement order against him for spoofing stock bids. He was so unloved that someone created a website call ihatebobmonski. It featured him and his mobile home, copies of a termination letter and his head pasted on nude bodies. Those were the days.
