@jaspar @dancow right. and the problem is that many people are now saying that their workplaces are ‘toxic’ because it was bad or sucky in a typical way. — PolitiTweet.org

@dancow sure. the point is that too many publications trade on the most severe connotation of the word to attract reader attention — part of a broader trend of catastrophizing that is undermining credibility in the media. my incentive is to increase reader trust. so that’s the complaint. — PolitiTweet.org

@dancow For the reasons I already elaborated. But if you want ‘toxic’ to be a generic word meaning ‘bad,’ have at it. It’s clear I am losing this argument! The flip side is that ‘toxic’ will have lost all meaning by this time next year and we’ll be using something else — PolitiTweet.org
