CBC WHY do you put all the Twitter stuff in every article? It's painfully difficult to read.
If I wanted to read Twitter stuff I would log on to it and read the news there.

i avoid twitter for the precise reason that the level of discourse on the site is painful. and it's active avoidance, rather than just a passive lack of participation; distinct rejection, rather than mere disinterest. if i was walking down the street and twitter start walking towards me, i would start walking in the other direction..

i'm an old internet nerd, from back in the days when people went on to the internet to avoid the inane idiocy of the culture around them. twitter is wholly representative of that cultural idiocy that the internet was once an escape from. it's consequently the actual, literal death of the internet.
