I think because of the 140 char limit, people are incapable of listening to each other now. We're traumatized by it.

You expect that the thing you're reading isn't saying anything, so you don't read it carefully, or you project the extra context yourself and assume the person is implying things you don't like out of a need for self preservation. It'll be alright.

You're safe now. You actually argue productively here. The art of finding common ground is back.

@hermeslispegistus Very true - have noticed this already; the slightly slower pace is very beneficial for mutual understanding and a fuller reading of what is intended.

That being said, the old art of the inverted pyramid is still a good idea to practice ;-)

@munin I'm not sure I've heard of the pyramid thing?

@hermeslispegistus Old journalism style recommendations. It boils down to 'get to the point up front quickly, and save details for further down, because many people won't read down through the whole article and you want them to understand what's going on as much as possible in the first graf"
