What's this?

Thank you for your dismissive response.

I rarely post on this board. On the few occasions I do, I always try to enjoin in a respectful and meaningful discussion about a current event. Invariably, I’m confronted with a dismissive and/or insulting reply which completely ignores trying to answer or discuss any of the questions or assertions I have raised. In those cases, as in this one, I end up leaving disappointed.

Before I depart, however, I do thank those of you who have responded candidly and respectfully in this thread. While we may not agree on the veracity of Twitter’s actions, it has been stimulating exchanging our ideas with each other.
