It's just too easy to hit the send button. Maybe Twitter should build in a 10 second delay?

It's a good reminder for all of us, and I should be more like that.

I mean, there are a few big name people on Twitter where I reserve the right to think that they are horrible individuals, no matter what their life story (some that I remember from long before Twitter and know from decades of exposure are not good individuals to be around, some who ganged up to get a friend of mine fired from her activist job, some who are well known to be straight up sex offenders who keep getting away with it), though even then, I'll only really dunk on one of mildly on Twitter, and sadly, the person I dunk on is the least harmful of the ones I think are horrible (though that person is the one that annoys me the most).

(In person with other people with decades of experience with this particular Vox writer is different story, one where I'm not at all mild in my dunking. I try to be a much better person on Twitter than I am in real life, in a shocking reverse of the norms.)
