As someone:
-without a meteorology degree
-very self-conscious about how those in the field regard me as a person/info source
-who makes mistakes
I’m very familiar with feeling nervous about being labeled a source of misinfo.

I’m never going to be perfect but I try very hard to respond to and improve from criticism.
Neither outlet I mentioned in my earlier tweet has ever made even cursory gestures in that direction, hence the rather harsh approach in dealing with them.

I definitely don’t want my initial tweet to be interpreted as “HS kids in their parents basement are the problem” as someone who has done (and is still doing! And will still be doing until May!) a lot of tweeting without the requisite degrees.
So for all my fellow met students who might be looking in the twitter mirror worried it might be their tweet with a pink X and “FAKE” on it, I’m with ya. I worry about that every day.
Social media pile-ons can be brutal and feel horrible when you’re on the receiving end.

But know as long as you’re not blatantly passing your thoughts off as NHC’s, as long as when criticism comes you’re respectful and reflective and willing to admit you made a mistake, as long as you’re not inciting panic/clicks w/long-range models, you’re way ahead of the game.
