What are some excellent mood-setting lyrics at the beginning of songs? I'll go first: The Mississippi Delta Was shining like a national guitar I am following the river Down the highway Through the cradle of the Civil War — PolitiTweet.org

@gdiygtbk @viewthenews1029 Trials are about determining if the defendant is guilty of the act or not. That is different from what I'm talking about. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@viewthenews1029 Yeah, I think we can treat something as a clearly wrong act and also show grace to the person who did it, and the two needn't undercut one another. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
I've said this before, though about what in particular I forget: *Don't judge others by their worst moment* is a good rule that's survived a couple thousand years for a reason. None of us would want to be judged based on our worst moment, least of all by millions of strangers. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey I can't think of ever having criticized someone's ideas only to have my thread turn into a mob of that sort. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I think engaging in criticism of ideas is fine but we should all take care to avoid crossing a line into joining digital mobs agitating for punitive measures. For example, it would've been wrong of me had I tweeted *let's make these kids unemployable* or "Twitter do your thing" — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@AnthonyMKreis There is no dissonance. Digital mobs are often harmful but are not violent. Likewise, embezzling is harmful but not violent. Many things are harmful yet are not violent. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
I often wonder how much of the disconnect in these debates is the inability of participants in digital mobs to grasp not only the tiny effects of their own actions but the cumulative and often wildly excessive effects of everyone's aggregated actions. — PolitiTweet.org

@ericowensdc @nickgillespie @ChrisLynnHedges @CurtMills I'm continually amazed by how many people don't understand the distinction between believing someone should have a right to do something and whether one believes they ought to have done that thing. You are failing to grasp the basics of what libertarians believe, Eric. — PolitiTweet.org

@gdiygtbk @vituperativeerb Similarly corruption and violent crime and war are not going to cease happening completely but I am nevertheless going to keep criticizing them in hopes of positive change at the margins. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Romanticism and enlightenment are always waxing and waning. For awhile, there were duels, and then a period where people saw a clear distinction between words and violence, and now, apparently, almost billionaires feel they need to slap comedians. Who's to say what better? — PolitiTweet.org

@SollenbergerRC @Sebastian_Hols If one is concerned about any impingement on academic freedom and free inquiry, due to placing a huge value on the truthseeking mission of academia, there are parallels. — PolitiTweet.org

@XBillups No, I'm in the unusual position of being paid for my opinions and analysis. I would like all Americans to have the freedom I do to participate in public discourse and deliberative democracy rather than self-censoring as so many do. — PolitiTweet.org
