Tom should sue and get Twitter shut down.

You just insulted real loons paddling innocently on some lake somewhere.

When did this supposedly happen?

I searched back to April of 2022, when it says you registered here, and found zero instances of me calling you that word.

Did I use a different context of that word?

You called me a pervert 3 months ago when we were having an argument about something, most likely Trump related.

I did a search for the word pervert and looked at every page of every thread I've posted in where that word was used in a post going back to March of 2022 and did not find any.

I found several instances of others calling ME that though.

I couldn't find it either. My post count only goes back 20 pages to the end of April since I've made so many posts. My guess is you probably deleted it and didn't remember making it or deleting it.

How about just consider tweets as comments from people interested in the subject matter, then either agree with them or present something to refute the premise.

Or...just ignore them.

If tweets are claiming to make factual statements, yes, I normally vet them with another source before posting. Of course, I've posted some that turned out not to be correct...we all have.

Tweets are comments from people. Nothing more or less. They don't require vetting. If you disagree with a premise, you have every opportunity to make a case to the contrary.

I post literally dozens of tweets a day to engender discussion on specific topics. Sorry if it offends you that I don't vet them all before you see them.

It doesn't offend me. Stop flattering yourself.

And no, not all tweets are comments...or opinions...as you seem to be implying. Many ARE trying to make factual statements. If they're not, then you're just using them to reinforce YOUR opinion. That seems lazy, no? Do you really want to just look for yes-men to validate your opinion when it may be completely wrong?

Would you prefer that I post tweets I don't agree with? Whether a tweet presents what you deem to be a factual statement or not, it's still just some anonymous dude posting something he believes, and you have every right to disagree with the premise.

What you don't have is the right to demand that I vet every one of them before I post them for discussion.

I never "demanded" any such thing. The issue I have with you is that when you post something that turns out to be complete drivel, you get up your dander and proclaim it's not your job to vet any of them, and then act like you don't care that you posted a blatant misstatement of fact.

And while yes, you don't have to, it reflects poorly upon you IMO. If you don't care about that, Godspeed.

That's certainly possible. That being said, I rarely delete any of my posts. Mostly I only delete posts if a mod dings me on one or warns me about going over the line.

But I will tell you that I reviewed back three years and I don't believe I called ANY poster that in that time. So it would be quite rare for me to have called you that.

If I did, and it was not just giving back or me being sarcastic, please accept my apologies.

I post tweets here to stimulate discussion, which I enjoy. I actually post some tweets I disagree with.

I don't "get my dander up" about anything here. This is not real life. It is strictly for entertainment purposes. You're the one who gets irritated if one of the tweets turns out not to be true.

Gee, it's like you think everything anybody posts on a message board should be gospel truth from the start.

I don't think you even understand the concept of sharing a tweet. It's simply my position that the topic raised in any specific tweet is worth discussing here.

If it turns out to be factually incorrect, it will get a community note at some point, or someone else here will find documentation refuting it.

You know, like a message board is designed to function.

Cool -- just post schlock filled garbage willy nilly, when false turning out to be mere stupidly libelous and all directed against one viewpoint, and when called out on it refuse to acknowledge responsibility for it, refuse to vet it, znd proclaim it 'discussion'.

Cool cool. Does that sum your stance up correctly? If so, quite the profile of courage. A veritable hero some might say.

I'm always amused when you take this stance. Admitting you're not as smart as someone else isn't quite the flex you think it is.
