Jeff Bezos Quotes

I'm accustomed to Internet forums where rudeness and incivility are the rule, where too many people seem to take pride in their insults.

I just think the Internet has made us ruder.

The whole social media thing is ridiculous. Everybody gets to say what they want all the time. That's fine in theory, but it's not civilised. Imagine going into a bar, and everybody in that bar is talking like people do online. They'd just get their teeth punched in.

So this is why I can't agree with "don't feed the trolls." When millionaire celebrity broadcasters and entire publications start trolling, ignoring them isn't really an option anymore. They are gradually making trolling normative. We have to start feeding the trolls: feeding them with achingly polite emails and comments, reminding them of how billions of people prefer to communicate with each other, every day, in the most unregulated arena of all: courteously.

Twitter's a funny one. I mean, it's good in some respects, but I can't stand it in other respects. You know there are too many opinions, people get opinions mixed up, and people get being rude mixed up with 'that's my opinion.'

I think Twitter is best when it sparks conversations elsewhere. To use YouTube and Facebook and all the tools we have available to us today to respond and also promote and answer and engage is awesome.

In the time honored tradition of email, just ignore the question.

Now, admittedly, Twitter can be entertaining on occasion, as it turns out that 140 characters offers a great chance to be misunderstood - and an even greater chance one will expose his inner troglodyte.

You can't be truly rude until you understand good manners.

Blogging is great, and I read blogs all day long. However, my goal is really to have a deep, meaningful discussion with people. For some reason, I'm able to accomplish this best via email.

It only takes 140 characters to toss one's character out the window.

Honestly, people are pretty chill and respectful on Twitter.

I've quite often written tweets that I think are across that line, but I just delete them.

In real life, I'm the kind of person that if I use Siri, I thank her afterwards.

If I was on Twitter, I'd probably get in trouble pretty quickly.

I'm always getting texts asking why I'm not responding on Instagram or Facebook, and I'm like, 'It's not me. You're writing to some stranger.'

It doesn't take a cell phone to make a person rude. There are rude people all over the place. But people are learning. I have never heard a cell phone ring in the movies. We are going to learn how to live with the advantages of new technology.

I have no problem with trolls or negative comments.

I love reading comments online.

I am not active in sharing my views on social media but I observe a lot.

People moan about Twitter, people being rude and trolling. Just turn it off. Life goes on.

My debut book is a collection of personal stories and advice about communication on the Internet. More specifically, the downfall of communication because of the Internet.

Everyone can be rude, and everyone can be kind.

I've had people say to me, 'How dare you have a Twitter,' you know, with my gimmick, I guess, and I just say, 'It's 2017.' It'd be hard to find someone in America who doesn't have a phone that has Twitter capabilities. So as a WWE Superstar, I think it's OK that I have a Twitter, people.

I do have a problem with someone that just wants a picture. People who ask for a selfie and don't even say hello to you, it's a weird thing that's happened in the last few years.
