Sometimes I wonder if Twitter gets the worst out of us, or does it just provide an x-ray vision to our deep-rooted bigotry/hate? The 280 character limit leaves no place to hide our bigotry. With longer pieces, one gets ample opportunity for that 1/n
But in one or more tweets, one has no real protection. Plus, while it was a virtue to be "middle-of-the-road" person with earlier mediums, the nature of social media has taken away that advantage. Now, the more you cling to the edges, the better the response - RTs and likes. 2/n
So there is no tax for being openly extreme, but there could be a windfall -- sometimes even those who totally hate your point of view (the "other" extreme) will RT your tweets, with an outrage, but RT is RT. The counts go up. You're suddenly "viral". 3/n
