When I feel confused or depressed, I remember back to junior high and I silently repeat, 'This, too, shall pass.'

My feeling is, Twitter's free. If people want to have a political discourse with me on Twitter, and they disagree with me, I've got all the time in the world for that. It's when it gets nasty that I have problems.
