 :)  Ah, The Good Perfesser  ;)

Thank you the timely "Heads Up."  Though I must share I have been following Twerper - er - Twitter soap opera as it has unfolded.  Mr. Tesla has done only exactly what he said he was going to do.

I for one, will be dramatically up-set should these developments result in Twitter going Tango Uniform, as it twer.

Social Media is the Bane of current society.

I don't use Twitter myself, but I do use facebook.

Like MOST corporations, I'm sure Twitter was incredibly top-heavy on the administration side and probably a full 1/2 of those administrators can be eliminated and nobody will notice any difference.

I was on Twitter but I got "Permanently Suspended" 2 years ago and they won't tell me exactly why!  ???
I use Facebook especially for the groups on there like SASS and the local clubs etc. It's a great way to keep in touch with relatives across the country. It's all about who you follow, if you're careful it's quite enjoyable. Twitter can kiss my %^$ >:(

Social Media is the Bane of current society.

I couldn't agree more.  The damage they have and are doing to our children is bad enough to justify closing it all down.  That's never going to happen but since I'm a 21st Century Luddite and don't even have a smart phone I can dream.

Never been on twitter and i am in my last days of FB. Those "social" media platforms tend to make people mean, and we do not need any more uncivility in this country. May not be long before I launch some rounds into this damn thing. Just plain damn sick of all of it. >:(

Decrepit computer monitors DO make excellent targets. They are much tougher than you would think.

Awhile back, after countless invites and many years of avoiding FB.
I had a brain fart and signed up , one of the questions was my birth date.
I didn't care for them to know, so I left it blank....

I actually made my 1st and only post (if that what it's called) that I was on FB.

about 45 mins later, I received a message from FB  "my account was suspended ... Reason? they deemed me TOO YOUNG to be on  ::)....  I'm still suspended

 I can do without the MORONS!

It will be interesting to see how the Twit goes.  I only subscribed and follow the local fire and LEO agencies for “current” updates. 

Personally, I couldn’t even give a Rat’s hindquarters for the rest of the content.
