I would really like to quote-tweet this, adding my 2 cents and amplifying Taylor's words.

But I can't. And that's unfortunate.

@edbott Why not just reply? Your followers will see it, as will other people in the thread. Why do you need to start a new thread of your own?

@edbott
As someone else said somewhere around here, it's usually better to talk WITH someone than to talk ABOUT them.

I guess journalists, whose job it is basically to talk about people, may not see the difference as strongly.

And maybe also communities that struggle for recognition, where talking positively about other members of the community, where the wider world can see it, is an important thing?
