I never cease to be amazed at how the cult of celebrity is bestowed on random nonentities simply because they air their opinions on Twitter. If you were in a pub and some random with a mouth far bigger than their brain gave you the benefit of their pea-brained perspective, the last thing you'd do is convey this bollocks to all and sundry. BUT... type the very same inane, mindless, spiteful drivel on Twitter and suddenly it's 'a thing' and the poster is quoted, re-quoted, re-tweeted and is generally treated as the next coming of Nostradamus. Maybe it's because I'm simply of an age where 'back in the day' a person of talent, skill or intellect commanded the public's attention and influenced opinion and debate, not these self-aggrandized 'seers' who bestow their words of wisdom on us less enlightened 'non-personalities' from the heights of Mount Twitter. Instead of raising the status of these turds, how about ignoring their mutant ramblings and let's get back to intelligent discussion?
