Richard 100% has an ego, but he usually has fair points as well. He wasn't even particularly rude. Calling a statement trite and meaningless shouldn't be so triggering. Keith is a big boy and can handle it - which he did, in a civil fashion. As far as the suitability of platforms for discussion, I will agree that Twitter ranks at the bottom. Unfortunately, people are driven to type where there are eyes to view it, no matter the character limit.

I find it suspicious that Spencer is till on Twitter.

I've heard him talk and he comes across as genuine, whatever the objections to his effete speaking style or argumentative behavior. I just think his mind follows patterns of logic that lead to occasionally fucked suggestions, like supporting Biden. If he wanted to grift, he's doing a poor job of it, and half of the alt-right seems to dislike him, so that's some truly stellar infiltration. The most worrying hunch I have is that he thrives on chaos and is too confident in coming out on top of the heap. Jack Dorsey would probably send him to re-education camp if given the opportunity, along with every one of us.

He has been banned before. He doesn't post anything overtly controversial and twitter has the most lenient standards of all the major social media sites.
