2. Thank you. I got razzed by respected members here for my severe distrust of him.

Their ground was that we should *stay* to debate the wingnuts at Twitter because it's a "prominent" public space. I've never paid attention to him beyond the stick-in-the-eye stunts that make it through all filters down to my level of awareness, but aside from whatever mental and material success I've heard about I've also heard some bizarre things, and my wingnut and anti-authoritarian antennae are set off vibrating/shaking/orgasming-not-in-a-good-way at his being the ONE/ONLY voice about anything - whether about Mars, electric, or dictating rules to whatever new woman is around his five kids. "It" just REPELS me - "it" being him as embodiment of ALL-deciding.

My coming-from on the staying-leaving is that with him being the Law on "free speech," the site will be a hermit kingdom of Wingnuts (only), that "debating" them is FUTILE, who among us are going to be on 24-hours Watch to "counter" all the slime? Who's going to maintain the Duty Roster? It will crumble as an all-Wingnut place down to the level of Free Republic, Breitbart, or whatever.
