during the 2011 riots there was so much shit and rumour flying round on it i was put off joining the fucking thing as you couldn't believe about 73% of what was being said.
I remember that - and trying to calm all it all down. People round my way were hysterical and I ended getting blocked or blocking nearly all of them.

But around 50% of my followers are American or Canadian - progressive ones, and/ or LGBT ones.

I have very few in London as it happens so my twat quotient is quite low.
 
I retain an intense hostility to the medium as the internet is for arguing imo and its nearly impossible to get a good (read, informative and amusing) row going when each person is reduced to a couple of hundred characters
 
I don't disagree with you actually. I think her cartoon was mocking and combative, it was a stupid thing to do in her position.

My question to you though was because of the way you referred to BME women's meetings as 'little' and as an 'echo chamber.' That was very dismissive of them as a thing rather than BM and her childish behaviour.
That was really ment towards her goldsmith clique which probably was in no danger from being beseiged by loads of men anyways cis trans or otherkin :D.
Rather than having bme women only meetings in general my fault for not making it clear.

yeh but it's also nearly impossible to get a good (read, informative and amusing) row going when they're reduced to 10,000 characters as so many threads here demonstrate.
 
I mostly like Twitter. It's been good to me. Nearly everyone in my life in the last 5 years I met on Twitter.

I like urban because whilst you still get to argue you're not continually going through the ABCs with twats. The temptation would be too strong on Twitter to not go toe to toe with idiots and the 140 character limit would frustrate my invective.

I like the character restriction on Twitter. I think its forced me to become better at writing and better at arguing.

Normally if I find someone I want to discuss stuff with properly we go elsewhere.

It's been excellent for me to get a lot of my trans awareness stuff out there though - and before that geo politics stuff.

Oh and I use it to help publicise really good campaigners who just do not have enough followers, and who I think deserve a bigger platform.
 
I wonder fairly often what the reaction to the same riots would be like now, I bet it would be a bit different.
inj terms of sympathy or state response? Cos I think the OB would go radio rental and start cracking heads much sooner that last time.
