> Twitter is completely to blame here

Don't blame knives for killing people, blame people who kill people.

I think the issue here is that Twitter came too quickly into our lives, and people did not have time adapt to the new reality.

Three hundreds years ago people would happily join a mob on a square trying to burn a woman because she is a witch or a traitor or unfaithful. Today people would just tell them they are coo coo and continue with their business.

After a couple of years people will learn to react to Twitter cancelling mob the same.




Sorry I should have said "Twitter culture" not Twitter. And I do hope you are right about it eventually fading away.
