    I think I understand how Twitter works fairly well, thank you. But I'm with linger on the usefulness of this off-shoot of the thread.

    I visit other people's timelines when a conversation prompts it.

    So, a conversation goes on here and you casually drop by on somebody who is very pointedly not one of the 4,000 you follow on Twitter? Okay. Whatever, really.

    (No kvetching, by the way, I remember when you theatrically blocked her.)

    Seemed relevant, wouldn't you say?

    Seems relevant to you, maybe. It seems creepy to me. And Russell does follow Danielle, so it's not as if she's speaking behind his back or anything. Get a hold of yourself.

    Please take a look at Danielle's Twitter thread before you load that one on me.

    Kind of begs the question of why you are looking at it, given you don't follow Danielle. But hey.

    I presume “men” refers to me – in which case you should probably have said so.

    Not just you, no. Clearly Sacha too. The most notable of these threads was Graeme's on 'roast busters' and free speech.

    I won't comment on the 'slagging', other than to say if people feel they can't speak their mind here they will do so elsewhere.

    Not feeling ‘oppressed’ here, Gio. Just disgusted by passive-aggressive discussion styles.

    You don't want me to tell you what I thought of your throwaway post about obesity being contagious, in all honesty.

    There is a pattern developing of women saying things here and men feeling oppressed and wanting to close threads that... but hey it's not my forum you all do what you like. Food for thought though maybe.

    Wait, where are those examples then? Have any governments introduced the tax and used to money to, say, make fresh food and vegetables cheaper?

    If you drew Venn diagrams , sugar tax would include most public health people, some right wing politicians, and some left wing politicians (given we can name both right and left wing politicians for it and against it). I think this makes the essential idea empirically apolitical.

    I’m sure hidden in this interesting catalogue is something that contradicts my claim that conservative politicians like the tax, and it’s just me who can’t find it.
