Twitter promotes impulsive posting though.
That is pretty unfortunate for people who never learned good impulse control, then.
JP LeBreton shat on Ken Levine after the story about Irrational closure broke.
I have yet to see anything that suggests that was anything but richly deserved.
Why? Some of his customers definitely acted like scumbags.
So we can also have a conversation about how there's a giant mass of socially impaired, violently unstable, alienated white men who hang out on twitter and threaten people with murder, rape, death, and all manner of other terrible things. This is basically awful, all the people who do it are basically awful, it helps make the world a dramatically worse place. I'm on board with all of that.
I would propose that, a) if you work in a job where your personal interaction with customers is a big part of your ability to operate, you need to be able to separate the mass of anti-social, skin-wasting trolls from the customers who can communicate like adults, no matter how unreasonable it is for that to be necessary, and b) if you screw up and do something wrong, then get torrents of unearned hate for it, all that unearned hate is inappropriate and terrible but it doesn't actually make your initial choice right
either.
I'm glad the guy's gonna make it right and that he took the steps of clarifying why he made a bad choice like he did.
