It’s an inescapable aspect of our society: social media is a cesspool of vitriolic nonsense. Even reasonable, rational people become unwieldy, burdensome douchebags on twitter at least occasionally. Case in point: my twitter profile. I’m occasionally right there loading up dem der hawtaek kannon with many of you, especially on twitter.
That’s why we need to come here sometimes. To escape the all-infecting madness, recover, and regroup.
For a more recent example, if you spent even a few minutes on Twitter during the roller coaster series finale against Cleveland, you saw many, many horrendous takes about the Astros bullpen.
