I was willing to entertain his point of view for a moment.

Then the top post is inviting me to check the node subreddit to look at how much the community upvotes bigotry, and on first glance I see that's clearly bullshit.

Then I check one of this tweets trying to draw simpathy becauase some Random Person On The Internet called him a bigot, I follow the retweet, and the tweet calling him a bigot is a response to a tweet of his introducing racial / gender politics into fucking Javascript testing.

It looks like these days that every most of the time someone is making drama about abuse on Twitter is looks like they have done all the legwork to earn that abuse and are hoping you don't have 30 seconds to take a look at their sources and see their own dirty hands all over the buildup.

Remember kids, nothing good ever happens on Twitter and if you're spending a lot of time there then there's a huge chance you're going to regret it one way or another.
