In what spirit should calling someone a 'twit' be taken? Should we pretend that it's an insightful social commentary? Or accept that it's a cheap attempt at humor based in disrespect for others?

Theres an important difference between being a sarcastic jerk at someone else's expense and pointing out the irony in situations that results in humor.

Its been my experience that either type of humor isn't tolerated here very well.
