Constructive inquiry is different than the whine Dawkins is discussing.

He’s saying what you said; people write things, fuck off if you don’t like what they write, trans people, right wing people, liberal people, HN people.

And it’s being spun here as if he doesn’t get the point we all just absorbed reading his article.

Very “you made this? I made this.” meme.

Then Dawkins needs to get off Twitter, because it will never give him what he wants. He hasn't found a problem in society, he's found a problem on Twitter. As it stands, he's yelling at the ceiling because it's blocking his view of the sky. He needs to go outside.

You made a grammatically correct point but I’m not sure it’s logically sound.

Human Twitter posters are members of society. How is it possible to wave off Twitter as not a problem in society when Twitter users exist as part of society?

Don't we all need to do it?

The overlap between the two is large enough, that I don't think you can find a non-technical problem on Twitter that isn't also a problem within society itself.

> he's yelling at the ceiling because it's blocking his view of the sky.

Like everyone else.
