It’s bracing and inspiring, like a brisk walk on an icy day with a view, to be hated by a large number of shitty people.

@Popehat I'm glad you are hanging with us still.

Always enjoyed your legal takes.

@Popehat I'm not plugged into this, but lemme guess:
People who care a LOT that you're leaving $8chan are telling you they don't care about you leaving it, oblivious to the fact that--Who the fuck would give a shit about their opinions?
@vanvelding @Popehat “$8chan”. I haven’t been paying attn (had to put my wonderful dog down), but I just LOVE that reference. And I will now follow you since I, too, am a major Trekkie. From the very first.
@jjurek @Popehat I wish I thought of it but I didn't.
@Popehat
hope @yoyoel can feel that way at some point.

@Popehat It's OK.

*hands you a bottle of Coke*

We like you here.

@Popehat I was going to miss tweets like this. Thanks for signing up
@Popehat I try to do good things for their own sake, but when the universe rewards me by making shitty people mad about it I certainly don't complain.
@Popehat "I would like to thank the legions of shitty people who hate me for helping me get to where I am today" is something I want to say in an acceptance speech now.
@arch @Popehat I’d like it at my funeral. The one with the open bar and dancing.
@Popehat Thanks for fighting the fight and helping poor shlubs like me understand how terrible some of these people really are stripped of their legal camouflage.
@Popehat don’t forget the shitty people (like me) who love you!
@Popehat Hate you left the bird but you are making me check this one daily now. Don’t disappoint.
@Popehat You're not locked in here with them. They're locked in here with you.
@Popehat it’s good to have you, Ken. You were literally the only reason I kept opening Twitter in a browser. Thank you.
@Popehat truer words were never spoken, sir
@Popehat To all the haters and losers...
@Popehat I want to put this on a pillow
@Popehat I quit twitter and came here, first thing I saw was your note that you’d quit for the exact same reason, same moment. Good to be here!
@Popehat This place will be just a little less boring with you around.
@Popehat "Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer""?
@Popehat That's how I met my wife. During my very brief career in newspapers I managed to piss off the entire senior class of Lone Pine High School, which is what got my future wife to start noticing me.
@Popehat The MuskieBros who attacked you on Facebook for leaving twitter was quite perplexing. It's as if they had never read anything you had written about free speech.
@iamroot4ever @Popehat Muskrats are convinced that the MuskmElon is the only supporter of free speech since the Founding Fathers, so any prior art on Ken's part is just something to retcon in a lawsuit like Elmo's obviously very true and correct Founding of Tesla and Invention of EVERYTHINNNNNG!
@Popehat Just as long as you're equally inspired by the larger number of good people who like you,
@Popehat FDR's "I welcome their hatred" speech remains inspiring a century later. Know them by the quality of their enemies...
