Wait you're literally saying that professional investors shouldn't be allowed to opine about professional investing on Twitter?

But it's totally okay for the rest of FinTwit to pillory this guy and declare that he's blackballed forever?

Jason Palmer is under 50. What's the cutoff for using Twitter? What, to you, is "semi-old?"

You are literally, actively calling for internet Omerta.

This is an insane position to take.

And you're arguing that anybody who doesn't agree with the code of silence is stupid.

This is a more insane position to take.

...I mean I get that your beef is with Twitter. And I get that you're trying to make a point here that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand, and I want to notice in passing that you're arguing that people should realize that Twitter is public (the Cheeto Benito has made that thunderously obvious).

What you're steadfastly refusing to acknowledge is that your argument 100% GLOSSES OVER OTHER PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS eating this guy's lunch. On Twitter.

This is a case of "say whatever the fuck you want" SO LONG AS IT'S PRO-STARTUP or ANTI-STARTUP CRITICISM. And three comments deep here, you are still arguing that "say nothing at all" is somehow a reasonable position to take in response to an article in which business criticism is systematically crushed by business interests.

    t's clear some people outside that particular tech bubble thought their comments were uncalled for

NO. The whole problem is that people inside that tech bubble went to war over comments that were negative. And they went to war in an extremely negative way.

The whole problem is that you can say whatever you want about stuff you're selling to investors so long as you don't say anything that might ever make an investor question the idea of investing. THAT is the issue.
