Yeah, I get that you're not actually a moron who thinks writing in that style will make Twitter more likely to listen to, and perhaps my original complaint was worded slightly too harsh.

What I meant by "dumbed down" wasn't that you were trying to make it easier for people to understand, just that you were dumbing it down for that comic effect.

More and more people are writing blog posts in that style, and I just happen to find it annoying.

edit: Thanks for linking to the Quora version of your thoughts, now those I 100% agree with (as a UberTwitter user).
