> I hate the term "these people" some of "these people" meet some of your criteria but not all.
I used "these people" to refer to the people that are not like the ones I described in my first paragraph. There are certainly those on the left and right who are decent, moral people. Would it have helped if instead of "these people" I'd said "people not like that?" Those are basically equivalent in terms of what I intended to say.
> You would likely place me in the category of "these people" because I believe social media favors the left side of arguments.
No, I think you're jumping to a conclusion that I was referring to conservatives or those on the right as a whole but nowhere in my text did I do that. I said "Trump (and many in the GOP)". I didn't make any mention of the right. There are many conservatives and people on the right who are not Republicans and I explicitly noted that there are Republicans for whom my claim doesn't apply.
I can understand being sensitive to this issue since it's hard being a conservative in progressive circles these days, but I don't think it's reasonable to construe that my comment applied to you.
> I believe in a fair an open internet, let ideas be shared and stop censoring.
I didn't state any opinion for or against what Twitter did or how Trump reacted.
