Now, everyone is entitled to their political views, and their religious beliefs. Just spare me, please. Be original, help others and don’t be lazy or disrespectful. It seems not much to ask. What do you think?
Uh-oh, guilty as charged on #2–I love seeing clever quotes, so I pass along those I like. Which for me is the same as #10–I RT those clever quotes. Hmmm. I guess I don’t understand what you meant in #2, then.
If you have conversations on Twitter as well, that’s fine. Some people just regurgitate the entire Oxford Dictionary of Quotations at the rate of one every fifteen minutes and have nothing original to say for themselves. 😉 Your Twitter stream is much better than that. I had a look.
I see what you mean, now. Yes, those constant auto-posters of quotes are off my list, too. Thanks!
