Another Great Twitter Moment (appalling, really)

Nir Rosen, journalist and former fellow at NYU, mocks the sexual assault of CBS correspondent Lara Logan:

People say stupid things all the time, things that they sometimes quickly regret. Today's lesson: think before you tweet.

Beyond that, I don't have much to say about Rosen, beyond noting that he's apparently a real gem of a guy...

I feel kinda bad for him.

People always get so uppity when it comes to morals.

Though his timing could have been better.

Karma is a bitch... I would not want to be in the proximity of Rosen for a slew of reasons... this included.

And we get kinda uppity about trolling in this place, too. Don't do it. First, last and only warning.

And I have another person to put on my "Headbutt if I ever meet then in public" list.

So because I'm expressing my opinion on the matter, I'm trolling?

Man, you people really are uppity.

Uppity is a loaded word, as it's been used to describe everything from women seeking the vote to black people no longer wanting to be enslaved.

As a would be writer, we should think of the subtext of every word we use.

No because you're trolling, you're a troll.

Buh-bye, now.
