@FredericLambert For me, this really struck me - this really human connection.
We should all be on the same side in this.
I hope everyone - Fred, Omar, you all reading this, me myself - can hold up a mirror and really stare into it and ask ourselves tough questions.

@FredericLambert "Mad at someone because they got something wrong in the past? So have you, many times! Don't think you have? Ask your foes, they'll gladly recount the times!"
"Mad at someone because you feel they used something without credit? So have you! Don't think you have? Ask your foes!"

@FredericLambert What we're dealing with is not so much toxic people but toxic grudges. Holding onto anger for years is poisonous. So is writing revenge articles - on news sites, on blogs, or tossing around rude schoolyard insults (Musk himself needs to learn that latter one badly).
@FredericLambert Also toxic is this judging people by whether or not they agreed with Elon. Let's be clear about something:
We're all humans. We're not sheep. A person may agree with Elon one day and disagree with him the next. *Neither* action makes them a better or worse person.

@FredericLambert Allow people to have their own opinions, everyone!
Someone disagreed with Elon about something you agree with? It doesn't make them TSLAQ.
You disagreed with Elon about something someone else agreed with? That doesn't make you a free thinker and them a blind sheep.

@FredericLambert Nobody is better than anyone else based on some sort of count of what percentage of the time they agreed *or disagreed* with Elon. Period. Nor is it healthy to assume that any random person's agreement or disagreement means that said person will always agree or disagree with him.
@FredericLambert TSLAQ culls their ranks of those who disagree with their mantra by locking them out of the blocklist bubble. We thankfully maintain no such bubble. But I'm not sure that eating our own is any healthier.
We can do better.
And I honestly think we will. :)
