Jochen Krebs of the Agile NYC community, and host of Agile.FM, asked me to participate…
A Typical Conversation on Twitter
writer: “I believe that A is false.”
reader: That’s stupid. Everyone knows that B is true.”
writer: “I wasn’t referring to B. I was talking about A.”
reader: There’s nothing wrong with B.”
writer: “Fine. But that was not my topic. My topic is A.”
reader: You have no proof that A is false. Where’s your evidence?”
writer: “I don’t have any. That’s why I said “I believe” instead of “I know”.”
reader: Well, I _know_ that B is true.”
writer: “Whatever. I care about A right now.”
reader: Why do you hate B?!”
writer: “Again, I didn’t say that. Why don’t you read a book on logic?”
reader: And why don’t you offer evidence that A is the opposite of B?”
writer: “OK, that’s it. Thanks for the conversation. It ends here.”
reader: You’re just bad at dealing with criticism.”
writer: “No, I’m bad at dealing with stupidity.”
