What high horse? People are sick of the complaining from a few of you, and I am
too. There is nothing stopping you from twitlisting TM.

Yes I do. Are they thought provoking? No, not usually. Does every conversation
have to be?

His short questions generate a huge amount of conversation and community. No,
they’re not figuring out how to solve world hunger. But people are enjoying
themselves, and it’s simply not your place to shut that down.

Nothing politically correct about it. Being kind is a virtue, and being
generally positive and encouraging are pretty great qualities too. It’s
certainly not my nature, but I know that they’re good qualities. 

The net result is that TM is contributing to this community. If you and the few
others don’t like him or the conversations he starts, then block him or drop
the echo.

Or do whatever you want. But don’t be surprised when the community tells you
to shut it. There are more people engaging with him than the few of you that
wish he wasn’t here.
