I do legitimately think that twitter-ized discourse leads to taking things out of context, really uncharitable reads, and the "boom, x destroyed" style arguments that try to end the discussion as quickly as possible.

It makes sense for Twitter where there's really no time or point to engaging earnestly, and it sucks when this bleeds over into the real world.

But holy hell the cancel wars are so boring. Paul Graham has billions of dollars, he'll be fine. All "cancelling" is to him is people being pissed of and not reading his blog.
