>No, but it does mean you don't want, or at least are ambivalent about, new Babblers, doesn't it?
No, no, no and no.
I don't know if you are talking just to MB, or to the more global 'you', but I will answer anyway.
I'm more than a little surprised you posted that question. Why would you even think A means B? I don't remember much of anything - if anything at all - in the No Twitter thread that even hinted at not wanting new people here.
I don't really like Twitter. The more I've experienced it since that thread first started, the less I like it. It's overwhelming, for one thing, to even contemplate having yet another electronic "place" to keep track of, check, be a part of, whatever. There are other reasons I just don't know how to articulate. I particularly don't like you - or anyone - excerpting my Babble posts on Twitter, for the same reasons I and others have already explained. Babble is Babble and Twitter is Twitter. I may not be able to explain any further, rationally, the "why" of it, but I do KNOW it has nothing AT ALL to do with being ambivilent about new Babblers.
Nothing
what -
so -
ever.I really don't understand why you seem to think it does.
Maybe it's that you cannot understand that safety at (in the unique environment of) Babble does *not* equate to "safety from people I don't know yet" - that it is something else entirely?
Do YOU think links from Twitter are the best and/or ONLY way to achieve the aim of attracting new Babblers?
