I think because of the 140 char limit, people are incapable of listening to each other now. We're traumatized by it.
You expect that the thing you're reading isn't saying anything, so you don't read it carefully, or you project the extra context yourself and assume the person is implying things you don't like out of a need for self preservation. It'll be alright.
You're safe now. You actually argue productively here. The art of finding common ground is back.

@hermeslispegistus yes. I agree. and...yet...apparently some people are so easily triggered that that attempt to discover common ground may not ever happen
@migukin Yeah, but those people used to be a tiny minority on the internet. Every medium sized phpBB forum used to have between a couple, but everybody else would argue tirelessly about something in one thread, and talk about how much they liked Linkin Park in another(are my late 20's showing in this post? :)
@hermeslispegistus I have been around since Usenet and what you say is very true. It will be interesting to see which direction this service goes.
