Downvoted.

  1. You say "not that I think that Perlmonks is anywhere even in the same category of importance", but go on to labour the labour comparison anyway.

    Two (huge) differences:

    1. Workers were the substantial majority being overridden by an empowered minority -- the bosses.
    2. It wasn't just their delicate opinions being overridden; but their livelihoods.

      Ie. Their ability to provide the basic necessities of life -- food, warmth and shelter -- for themselves and their families.

    You and your ilk are a tiny minority trying to impose your opinion upon the majority who actively and vocally disagree with you.

  2. You attempt to imply that this might get done if the tuits were available.

    That's a false premise given that there has been nothing like any consensus that what your minority is asking for, is desired to be implemented.

    Neither by a majority of the users here; nor by those who would be charged with its implementation.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    I strongly agree with all of your post, specially with

    You and your ilk are a tiny minority trying to impose your opinion upon the majority who actively and vocally disagree with you.

    and with the title of your follow-up node:

    Let's drop this long belaboured, never pertinent, pointless subject once and for all.

    Thank you. Now, back to work or any other more interesting subject.
