Of course that’s true. But I also see friends and colleagues, people I respect, saying things about other people that they’d never say to their face

To be fair the vast majority of people on Twitter (hundreds of millions) are spectators who get no attention. The judgment we see comes from the minority of tweets that get all the impressions. I don't even try because moderate takes quickly fall into oblivion.

Poorly phrased. 

Humanizes the successful people so the mean things don’t get said
