@DeskPopper69 @mtaibbi I have been attacked extensively by left and right and I still didn’t sell out all my principles for dollars, thanks.

@ZaidJilani @mtaibbi "How dare you not like the people that made your life hell."

Welcome to the Left, where having legitimate feelings is unacceptable.

@mtaibbi So your worldview is now based on personal resentment and revenge? Hey, I thought you were arguing you *werent* just a MAGA cutout anymore.

After the Twitter Files Democratic politicians threatened me with jail, called me a Putin-sympathizer and a “Trump ally” for doing my job, and now you’re reprising Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s act of calling me a sellout — maybe I just genuinely think you all suck?

@mtaibbi I never said I object to your Twitter files stories. I object to you saying you out won’t write about republicans anymore. We both know you don’t want to upset your subscribers. Why lie about it? I always admired you for your honesty and integrity.

The statement in question is a direct, hostile response to a series of conversations about journalistic integrity, political bias, and personal principles in the context of reporting. The tone is aggressive and insulting, and the intent seems to be to express anger and personal animosity rather than to contribute constructively to the discussion.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does harm with words by using profanity and insults. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement disrespects the dignity of the individual it addresses, bordering on harassment. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. [-2]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in personal attacks rather than constructive criticism or dialogue. [-2]
