@jordanreiter @honeydew_kiwi @ACEMcCormack @TabitaSurge I take regular Twitter breaks, often for several months. Then I come back to be an opinionated pain in the arse again. Thankfully I'm the only one.

@memneon @honeydew_kiwi @ACEMcCormack @TabitaSurge These are great points. I think if someone believes that social media is harmful, they should definitely minimize their exposure to it.

@LeanderReeves @TabitaSurge Men get strokes too. This has nothing to do with gender. But sure, score some cheap feminist/mansplaining points.

@mrbakerphysics @WickedestWoods @TabitaSurge @jjjummer @Mr_N_Wood @joon_of Guess what dude? I'm human just like you. I keep making my point, you keep looking for likes..
English
@memneon @WickedestWoods @TabitaSurge @jjjummer @Mr_N_Wood @joon_of Feel free to count the messages since you last said you'd leave it.

@TabitaSurge @greeborunner @heatherdesign No, but I am genuinely concerned. That's why I've been direct. But I've said what I think and will definitely leave it there now.
English
@greeborunner @mrbakerphysics @WickedestWoods @TabitaSurge @jjjummer @Mr_N_Wood @joon_of To be clear, I'm not telling people to do anything nor telling them off. That's your interpretation. They are free to do what they want. Like you're free to advise me. Although I'm not sure how balanced and well-meaning you're being - more concerned with the others perhaps?
English
@memneon @mrbakerphysics @WickedestWoods @TabitaSurge @jjjummer @Mr_N_Wood @joon_of Leaving under a cloud and then returning to tell off all those who have a more even relationship with social media than swinging on and off of it probably isn't the balance you think it is. Take care of yourself and perhaps allow others the freedom to do the same.

@sl0loris @TabitaSurge I have plenty of nice things to say. In fact I've said a lot of nice things about Tabitha. I'm simply acting out of genuine concern - for her and the wider issues raised.
English
@memneon @TabitaSurge i can’t take credit for this but: if you haven’t got anything nice to say, consider not saying anything at all

@mrbakerphysics @WickedestWoods @TabitaSurge @jjjummer @Mr_N_Wood @joon_of Thanks true friend. I've told her I'm leaving it there and I will respect that. Taking a Twitter break myself shortly as it happens. Like I do regularly to maintain some balance. Maybe you should try it yourself?
English
@memneon @WickedestWoods @TabitaSurge @jjjummer @Mr_N_Wood @joon_of Um, you've now basically sent the same message to Tabitha a dozen times over a period of hours.
So as a true friend I'm telling you that you're addicted to social media and need to stop.
English
@WickedestWoods @TabitaSurge @jjjummer @Mr_N_Wood @joon_of Well done for making my wider point. People who are addicted to social media neglect their health and true friends should tell them.
English
@nickopotamus @TabitaSurge That’s very ironic. I think I am listening to her lived experience but everyone attacking me is doing the opposite. No doubt because they think I’m attacking her. Not true at all. I’m questioning her behaviour and raising important issues.
English
@honeydew_kiwi @ACEMcCormack @TabitaSurge I think the points I’ve been trying to make are very reasonable. I’m raising issues about mental and physical health linked to social media addiction. And about true friendship.
English
@memneon @ACEMcCormack @TabitaSurge Additionally, consider whether or not the expression of your thoughts adds value. It doesn’t. You’re attempting to (however gently you imagine it is) police someone’s behavior based on your limited takeaway from the thread. You diminished lived experience in favor of your opinion

In which a dude makes up utter tripe and winds up being hugely rude about someone who had a stroke.

@Mr_N_Wood @joon_of @TabitaSurge .. that's healthy either. Social media is completely blurring the boundaries between the public and the private. And what's driving that? Attention.

English
@greeborunner @heatherdesign @TabitaSurge .. respecting personal choice and adulthood. But in this case I think your argument is wrong. What are the 'wider issues'? Attention, addiction, lack of personal boundaries. It's the sickness of social media.
English
@greeborunner @heatherdesign @TabitaSurge I like and respect you too Zoe. But I think you've misinterpreted me here. I'm expressing an opinion because I'm truly staggered about this scenario (I include the people showing support) - and deeply concerned about the wider issues it raises. I would normally agree about ..

@Mr_N_Wood @joon_of @TabitaSurge Good response, Nick. But I'm not claiming vast medical knowledge, I'm just applying common sense (even if I do think most doctors would agree). As far as Tabby's circumstances go, she shares a lot of personal stuff about her life and, since you raised it, I don't think ..

@TabitaSurge @heatherdesign I'm taking a break now. I wish you all the best.
English
@heatherdesign @TabitaSurge I am moving on. Common sense has gone out of the window on here.

@dawn_s_saunders @TabitaSurge I'm sure she'll appreciate your comment. I think most doctors would disagree.
