I am done with twitter.

If I see a post here on DU that I suspect will have a tweet in it I won't even bother to open the thread.

Their reasoning or lack of reasoning for the GOP Arizona suicide pacts is the reason.

3. I follow those who are experts in their field, including Laurence Tribe, Steve Vladeck, Neil Katyal,

Scotusblog, Marc Elias and other legal sources and who offer immediate legal analysis never before available. I find it an invaluable resource.

I am not registered on twitter, nor will I be, but I simply bookmark some of their internet twitter feeds.

I still consider it a resource if used judiciously.

4. I should have clarified, I have had a twitter account for years

That is up until about 10 minutes ago. My stance may not mean diddly squat to most but I am standing on principle on this issue. As long as social media company don't have a clear TOS, They will be able to get away with anything.

7. That's why I like it too - and I like Sarah Cooper and Jill Wine Banks. nt

11. Before coming to DU, I considered twitter just noise.

You and some others here showed me that there are worthwhile, potentially global, conversations on twitter among people who know what they're talking about. This is not a replacement for journalists, but journalists are not original sources like many of the tweets are.

5. Hey friend - when I left FB and Twitter a year ago, my life became much happier

tools used to spread disinfo are no longer part of my day or life. No going back.

6. I will be right there with you brother.

[Squinch]

9. You are going to be happy you did it.

8. "when I left FB and Twitter a year ago, my life became much happier"

Gee, should I then join Twitter and leave it after a few days?

10. I am not and never have been a Twitter member

I think we would be better off if Twitter was what Opus thought it was, a chatroom for birds.
