Blurts

A couple of people who dislike one or more of my recent posts have explained their thinking to me via…

…Twitter.

Why do people do that? What is the point? They could comment here, they could email me, they could (if they’re friends) talk to me on Facebook…but instead they choose the medium where you can write only 140 characters at a time.

Why?

It always fills me with a vast weariness when people do that.

  1. Blurt
  2. Blurt
  3. Blurt

Ok, now what? There are things I can say to each blurt, but what is the point? I don’t want to blurt. I want to be able to use however many characters I need for the purpose. I don’t want to engage in a dance of blurts.

So I just sigh and ignore the blurts.

Seriously, if you want to talk to me about something complicated, do it anywhere but Twitter. Twitter is the wrong damn medium for that.
