       Unconfirmed rumors that Musk is working on a #Twitter enhancement where all users will be strapped to their chairs in straitjackets with their eyelids held open as they're forced to read all of his tweets while Beethoven's Ninth plays in the background.

       @Probs Run away if you wish. Your choice.

       @lauren It is not a question of running away. By patronizing a site run by a single ringleader, you are endorsing him and his company. Being on Twitter supports him and his model. Stay if you wish, your choice, but users' presence is what constitutes the platform's value.

       @Probs Actually the opposite. By keeping track of what's going on there personally, I'm better able to report the situation. Otherwise, I have to rely on third parties who may or may not provide as timely and accurate information. It's the same reason I watch FOX News as well as CNN, MSNBC, etc. Less information is almost never a winning position.

       @lauren The difference is that by being an active participant on twitter, you are part of the community that gives twitter its power. This is not the same thing as understanding other viewpoints / collecting timely and accurate information. Active users literally generate the value of the Twitter company.

       @Probs Where did I say I was currently active? In fact, my account is locked and I have not posted in months. Don't make assumptions, OK?
