While reading this I kept wondering "what's the point of this article?"<p>"My intentions in being critical of Twitter and the state of declining tweet quality is not to bask in my own whining or seek consolation or apology. I honestly think that by rethinking the situation, we’ll decide what kinds of tweets are of best service to us all."<p>I haven't even seen the types of tweets the article is talking about, ever. I'm not sure it's as big a problem as you think, and I doubt the people who are irritating you with their arguments will ever read the article, so unfortunately it does end up as coming across as basking in your own whining.
Yet another "on-line" crisis which has been played out, time and time again, "off-line", since the dawn of civilization. Just because you have the ability to block/follow people on Twitter does not exempt you from having to develop social skills.
