I don't think there's a problem with posting a tweet, outside of this thread, as a jumping off point for discussion, or to make an original point and wanting to give credit for it, or to post an expert opinion.

What gets old, at least for me, is posting every tweet one individual makes. If you're here, you also have access to Twitter. If someone wants to read ALL of trumps tweets, twitter is the better place to gey them. I also get tired of tweets from ordinary people as a proxy for having an opinion. Just say what you want to say, not some tweet from a like minded karen. It's also not necessary to post every single tweet that has a political meme you agree with.

I'm more interested in original posts than I am interested in coming here to get a representative sample of tweets on all topics.

If thats for me then:

1. Im not a tough guy. I just dont like your posting style

2. I dont care what the tweet says i juat don't like being inundated with a flurry of tweets on each topic. You can find a tweet that supports ANY opinion. Theyre just opinions. We have plenty of those around here. Others are poir attempts at humor. I understand why you like those

As long as they're really really long and preferably low quality, I support it.

I asked you what I thought was a simple question. Perhaps it wasn't.
Hey, don't worry about. Go ahead and please carry on with more cryptic posts if that's what you choose to do today. Sorry to have interrupted you.

Cryptic probably wasn't a good word to use.
Coy might have been better but I'm thinking the word vague would work.

Here let me appease you with another "unhinged post".
Maybe it's just me but you've seemed a bit testy lately.
Obviously I have no idea what may or may not be happening in your life off of the board/s but I sincerely hope there is nothing bad going on.

Tweets on a cellphone are a PITA. If they were screen shots they would not cause me to have close Twitter windows all the time. But I love that we are arguing about it.

I'm way behind on this thread, but in the last few days what I've read Gutter seems pretty hinged to me. And I agree with him in hoping you're in a good place.

The long multiple tweet posts makes this site awful on a phone. And then gets worse when quoted.
