Interesting post until you started masturbating.

The top people who you totally rub shoulders with on Twitter are worried about optics and income. On (allegedly) anonymous forums, we feel more at liberty to express ourselves honestly and, to me, that makes others' comments seem less constrained by ulterior motives. Maybe that's not true for you, but you take your account name with you everywhere. While I agree you can reach high-status individuals on Twitter, I also find the average user's intelligence lacking. Depends what you want, I guess.
