I don't know. How would you feel if someone would call you a pedophile on social media, but deleted the comment after a couple of hours?

Especially by a person who has a huge following and every word he writes can have a massive impact on peoples perception. As a lot of people pointed out, the term pedophile can be very damaging on one's life. Now put these two things together...

With great power, comes great responsibility. When you are a leader you have to be careful what you say and do. Granted, we are all human, but deleting a tweet doesn't even come close to an apology.

FYI - /s denotes sarcasm.
Later the day I was wondering about that.

Always learning something new then.
