I want to be intellectually honest about it all, but it's hard to do alone or with only bad faith actors pretending to dialogue (bUt He iS geTTinG riD of cHilD poRn - ARE YOU PRO CHILD PORN, ffs no, for the record, NO). but part of what made Twitter amazing was the dialectic you could have in real time with all sorts of people (I still argue this was the most common instance of the quote-tweet that I saw, although I understand that other, more nefarious uses existed).
