people to see it) or if the people I follow reply to the person who tweets something ugly.

Otherwise, I don't see much of it at all. Granted I follow, scientists, politicians, reporters, certain twitter personalities, a tiny amount of celebs - speaking of which I need to check on Ed Asner and I only follow a very few unknown people who are most likely DU'ers.

All of my friends are on facebook but I don't do facebook and won't do it. Ever.

I guess I don't know how to see a bunch of nasty stuff.
