Twitter oftentimes is nothing more than the cyberspace version of “pile-on”.
Its great fun to play as long as you are not the kid at the bottom of the pile.
Most of the “Twits” also possess the intelligence of 1st graders.
I like to say that there’s a sliding scale of stupid among online news/commentary outlets. Salon, Slate and the Huffington Post are the relatively less stupid ones, then Buzzfeed, then Vox, and finally, Upworthy is all of the above’s special little brother.
