Actually, my good friend Atman has a point, and franksolich stands with him.
Despite that one of the smartest men in the world does it, having found it an effective means of countering malicious fake news, twitter is, essentially for shallow people whose thoughts about things can't go deeper than half a sentence.
It's trite, like reading a bumper-sticker.
As for the primitives' unkind comments about my good friend Atman, Atman has in fact written reams of his own original stuff for Skins's island. His stuff, not copied-and-pasted junk, or one-sentence posts. Of course it's been utter nonsense, the stuff he's written, but he has had original ideas, written about them, and posted them.
There was a time Atman was one of the top posters on Skins's island--not lately, but there was a time--original stuff, stuff he considered substantive even though we didn't. When it comes to contributing insight to the primitives on Skins's island, Atman paid his dues a long time ago.
I suspect the primitives don't remember all Atman's written simply because the primitives are so self-absorbed, so narcissistic, that they remember only things they write themselves, not what other primitives have written.
<<<stands foursquare with Atman; if wants to read bumper-stickers, will go outside and look at cars.
