FWIW I've thoroughly enjoyed this whole back and forth. I mean, what are we even doing on here anyway? We're just dorks flapping our gums. That was fun.

Like I said before it was one of those "no rhyme or reason posts" that's just something I note to people that confuse the two. I agree it's misplaced and sidetracked things but I posted it and can't go back. I suppose I was surprised it ruffled feathers or anyone would even notice it in this Musk thread. I certainly didn't do it to ruffle feathers and I didn't do it because I don't believe exhaust gas is harmless. It just a stupid post that spiraled out of control. My bad.

I feel like we made some real progress arguing meaningless pedantics over the medium which carries the noxious fumes from a vehicle’s exhaust.

Well CP was closed yesterday so we have to make up for missed pedantry.

I think we did alright. Not sure what car exhaust has to do with Twitter, but that just means we really did a great job of showing those rails who their boss is!!

No idea why some advertisers would leave twitter. Weird.

I cant believe they let Icke back, he lasted about 3 months when youtube let him back.

#### advertisers, unmuzzle the crazies and let them go ham. Only weak-minded people and power-mongers are afraid of ideas or concerned with controlling what other people think. Crazy people doing crazy stuff are the spark plugs in the engine of success upon which our whole society is built.

Trouble is that crazy people don't stay on the internet they walk into elementary schools with guns.

If they're a spark plug, they're the one that misfires and causes a rod through the block.

I just came up with a crazy idea.

We let people get away with saying whatever they please anywhere. Zero consequences.
But they aren't allowed to have arms. If you want, you can become a mouthy torso.

sign here, we cut your arms off have fun speaking your mind.

I got to here and thought, interesting idea, but in the US they'd never stand for that, how can you enforce it anyway? They love their guns. Plus we don't have a ton of guns here, and I don't like the idea of letting the crazies have carte blanche".

Then I read the following sentence:

Twitters “for you” setting as the default on mobile is absolutely garbage. Maybe there’s a way to make “following” the default, but why would anyone want that useless list of junk, when we’ve already chosen people we want to follow?

Brilliant businessman.

Our champion of free speech appears to be suppressing politicians who criticize him.

I stopped actively following this thread a while back but I want to be on the record that the new update sucks.

I haven’t updated the iOS app since Musk took over. The Twitter blue subscribers still appear as their usual unchecked pleb self.
