The beauty of the tweet network is that if you are of the personal opinion that it's made for idiots and hipster wankers then you simply don't install it and never have to put up with inane, stupid comments from morons who believe they're important and need to be listened to.

Till someone publishes the stupid things.

So I have a request.

Last year I was going through some bad stuff and took it out on people, including people on twitter. I was a total dick o you a couple of times, and I really regret it. Wanted to publicly apologieze.

Any chance you could unblock me? I'd love to be able to read your tweets again.

/same twitter handle as Fark screen name

/sorry again

Those astronomers, always thinking they're better than us with their oh so clever tweets and their Cancer in the House of Mars with Jupiter rising elitist science stuff.

Astronomers are obsessed with stars. That's so lame. I don't even own a telescope.

You might want to call the police about the man that's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read every article posted to Fark.

All of my observational records are on photographic plates... None of that mass-produced CCD garbage.
