>>Naomi, look at it this way. If someone thinks that whatever I say is not worth reading, then whether they twit me or not, they still are unlikely to bother with any of my posts. If they do bother to read my posts, then they'll probably just sneer at my words. If I get twitted or if I don't, the result is still much the same except that if I do get twitted, then at least there is someone who thinks I'm a jerk with whom I no longer need concern myself.

I can not 100% control myself and may still write something silly and use some opportunities to make stupid jokes, but I've been trying sometimes to think before replying. And I quite often change my reply after second thought.

I think you are taking this Twit thing very personally. Or at least believe that others do. The odds are that the Twitter and the Twitted don't really respect/care that much for each other anyway. Do you think that they care if one or the other don't want to confront/read them?
