Google is a "search", tweets are sent out to others on purpose. It's actually not that different to being spammed with trash in your inbox. It's a massive difference in my book mate.
Good luck Dr. Bob, I feel you are not the ethical person I thought you were and I don't appreciate you trying to sugar coat your deceptive lies using me as an example and taking the excerpts of my posts that suited you. I felt that that was passive aggressive bullying on your behalf. I also felt like that was the biggest bitter pill I've ever had to swallow.
Google is a search engine.
Twitter is spam that is received without asking for it.
I think it will bring bullies in, without question. I hope it doesn't though, for everyone's peace of mind and all the wonderful people who made this place somewhere for me to seek refuge in times of crisis.
Sorry we don't see eye to eye on this. Cactus
