@jonathansampson it's very very common in men in my experience. Not saying "all men" (insert cartoon) but.. VERY common.

@amyhoy you can't have "mansplaining" without "man"

@donlbe :(

@jennschiffer damn it, I didn't hear those rumors NOW I MUST KNOW

@amyhoy I get your perspective, for sure, but I think you're rejecting VC too categorically. Maybe "raise money from your customers?"

@TvdW once I tweet it does not stay in stock. I was intentionally waiting

@SuzieZUMO I'm going with http://t.co/e6b3nKErXT

@jmuspratt that is a great track from 2012. I had to look it up, but 2012 was solid. 2013 is amazing though. Really the best of all years.

@drylight atwooooooddddss llaaaawww.. attwoooooodddsss llaaawww 👻👻👻

@SuzieZUMO @QualityFrog lol that is a warning sign on so many levels

@markrussinovich @dunnry no no no I will pay for it, I support authors!

@ZachWeiner @rhp7 @thenib @MattBors we are on the Internet right? (Clears throat) you disgusting sellouts make me sick!

@markrussinovich @dunnry sorry about that. I still need to get to your books Mark!

@ZachWeiner why not publish it on your site?

@jonanamary @flyingparchment @kjetilod see http://t.co/LudLjii4Cx

@ellenspertus I don't get much abuse. This is a small taste of what others get daily isn't it?

@waxpancake OK so like also the Olive Garden

@petemounce static http then? not https?

@annadrezen @vasuki_narayan a country and western song

@slyall oh, now we're getting into INSULTS, eh? :)

@shanselman @Unc0gnito http://t.co/g0QKZksTzz

@SpoonT @donw guys. (are we guys here? I don't even know. SpoonT is an egg) guys. guys. ease up.

@RoyTuvey do you really feel this is a fair statement? I find it very hard to judge intent in 140 chars.

@SpoonT @donw have people really changed since '92? Computers, sure. But people?

@SpoonT I didn't read it that way. It's really good. Try a bit of it and see!

@eileentso I get really tired of alpha male posturing and pissing contests. I blame myself as much as anyone else. We are *very* good at it.

@eileentso the problem is that negative voices get amplified too much. Basically "if it bleeds, it leads" as applied to social media.

@eileentso very few are, of the samples I've met. There are a few, but thankfully rare.

@stylealgorithm the article is about radical honesty practitioners.

@DanielOCL HOW is this not linked from http://t.co/BmNns7sVGF ?? get on this @textfiles

@Bantik @vasuki_narayan ok, hate expressed towards any human being is not acceptable.

@JonathanTLH I do not like seeing any human beings as the target of hate. This rule applies to everyone.

@mjg59 @paulcbetts it is a tough topic, I expect a range of responses. That is all fine. We should be engaging.

@Bantik hate expressed towards any human being, even those you do not agree with, should not be acceptable

@stylealgorithm I will happily read whatever you link.

@stylealgorithm @jsoprych I don't know. I want to hear everyone's story. I don't like seeing any human being targeted by hate.

@vasuki_narayan I am telling you that I don't like hate expressed towards any human being. I hope you feel the same way.

@mjg59 nobody's really "qualified" to do any of this, are they? So why not just try to be respectful of each other, like human beings?

@mjg59 I guess I am not :( aim for the stars, end up on the moon?

@stylealgorithm I am listening. I want to help. That is why I posted the blog entry to reach men.

@ncoghlan_dev @mjg59 no. My argument is that someone who actively promotes hate should not be amplified.

@mjg59 I found the work of MLK life altering http://t.co/TMnKkMotp3

@ncoghlan_dev @mjg59 anger is fine. Welcome even. Hate is not.

@hakunin @perbu the root cause is people who are willing to inflict psychological trauma on each other.

@mwhooker all hate should be policed.

@mjg59 I am saying be angry. Be mad as hell. But channel your anger into something constructive, not perpetuating hate.

@hakunin @perbu so it is ok for those who have suffered psychological trauma to inflict it on others?

@vasuki_narayan please, be angry! But use your anger to promote constructive change, not perpetuate hate.

@mjg59 am I? http://t.co/Ns3g4Jagna

@hakunin @perbu see http://t.co/Ns3g4Jagna

@vasuki_narayan I respectfully disagree. Try counting the number of incoming vs. outgoing hateful remarks on that feed, over a month.

@hakunin my blog post was all about men changing, was it not?

@Dewb @petermilley see http://t.co/Ns3g4Jagna

@gregorysean happy to look at other voices that don't amplify hate

@humidbeing is it? http://t.co/Ns3g4Jagna there are better voices.

@gregorysean @kevinmarks see http://t.co/vwue7qx7OI I agree there are much better voices to hear on this important topic

@kevinmarks we support discussions of thousands of posts in length.

@JoeKSewell http://t.co/Ns3g4Jagna

@stylealgorithm happy to listen to those who are reasonable and civil. Anger is fine. Promulgating a culture of reflected hate is not.

@JoeKSewell anger and disagreement are fine. Encouraged even. Perpetuating systemic hatred is not.

@whitequark you're probably right.

@stylealgorithm still reached a lot of men with a positive message and concrete ways to alter behavior. Topic always blows up.

@kevinmarks shut down is fine, but promulgating systemic hate along the way is absolutely not.

@stylealgorithm I posted a blog entry with specific steps men could take to foster a friendlier environment for women?

@kevinmarks it is interesting to compare the streams then vs. now. I agreed with that one, 100% valid. But browse the stream *now*.

@hypatiadotca who is harassing? PM me and if they follow I will PM them. (I have a hard time seeing everything due to volume)

@kevinmarks humor me and count the hateful remarks sent vs. received on that profile. Really do this. It is 10x, 100x hate amplification

@Dharlette no, that is not the post -- that is additional context on WHY there was not a link. Suggest reading it.

@swombat I want to engage with those that can be reasonably engaged with, without open conversation, there can be no progress

@kevinmarks so the way to fight systemic hate is with.. more systemic hate?

@Dharlette amplifying hate is not an effective solution. Do we fight hate with more hate?

@bitmaker_me agreed, it is a huge problem men have.

@kevinmarks context: http://t.co/Ns3g4Jagna

@jfarmer it is *literally* impossible to follow this giant conversation on Twitter in a rational way.

@jfarmer when I say "the medium fails" I mean that literally. This is a screenshot of my Twitter page in Chrome. http://t.co/QSdqFA5okP

@jfarmer because after 100+ tweets, I honestly can't even remember what we're talking about now. The medium fails.

@jfarmer blog what you want me to read. (or point me to other blog entries). I'll happily read them.

@jfarmer basically, 30+ streams of 140 chars is woefully inadequate for explaining anything. That's why I wrote a blog post?

@jfarmer Is there a blog post *explaining* your position? I have one. You can read mine. If you write one, I'd love to read it.

@jfarmer when I said you should blog what you felt, it wasn't a challenge. Honestly. It really wasn't. Blogs are are for *you*, not me.

@johnnynoble I love this song

@jfarmer dudes and pissing contests. Now that's something we are good at.

@jfarmer allow me to summarize this whole conversation in an image, Internet style. http://t.co/WYLBt73NvP

@asavar song, yes.. that version.. eehhh

@RobDrimmie feel free to post a reply there

@RobDrimmie see http://t.co/TMnKkMotp3

@jfarmer seriously? If another white guy posted a "followup" on my blog? Even I am not that dumb.

@secretGeek painful. I hate you! :p

@NicheDiver was seen as a snub, I think. The real intention was explained in what I just linked you to. Anyway, link was added days ago.

@NicheDiver @HillaryMelville it is also worth reading http://t.co/TMnKkMotp3 for context (and my previous responses upstream of that)

@NicheDiver @HillaryMelville I can always do better. I am fine with that. I made changes after it was posted for that reason.
