<div>Sorry, I misunderstood what he was saying. I thought he was conveying what people were saying to him about Paul. </div>

</div>
<div>I have a Twitter account to follow news etc, but don't tweet so I guess I'm missing those exchanges. Unfortunately, that seems to be part of the Twitter culture on both extremes. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, I would hope that we could be more respectful of opposing views in this venue. </div>

<div>Hi
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Since I’m in Europe six hours ahead of you EST folks maybe I can clarify before you all wake up and reengage. Brett, Milton was merely conveying what someone called him yesterday. If you’re really not aware, the Heritage/Cruz campaign has fired
up the fanatical alt right, so when some of us sent tweets simply noting the GAO responses etc. we started getting hate tweets. One NCUC member told me yesterday he’d been threatened with violence and had to block people. When I looked at some of their tweet
streams I was pretty taken aback since I don’t interact with this side of American culture. Rapid xenophobia, people saying Obama wants to give the Internet to “the muslims,” the dictators, the UN, whatever, and the Internet is ours and foreigners can go
fuck themselves, etc etc. I didn’t see any evidence any of them had a clue what the IANA is.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Nobody is saying you guys endorse this stuff, but there’s no way around the fact that these are the people who have rallied to your cause. It’s not a pleasant turn of events, and no matter the outcome of the transition these folks are going to
part of the landscape going forward. Maybe Cruz continues to wind them up with his eye on the next election, who knows, but they’re here now.</div>

Can't we just accept that reasonable people can have different opinions and avoid insults and innuendo?<br class="">
