Josh Thole deleted his Twitter account yesterday. Big deal. He tried it out, starting just before Spring Training, and a couple of months in he identified it as having little to no value for him. He received a lot of negative and hateful messages from classless ‘fans’, and ultimately decided any benefit of interfacing with fans and answering questions and sharing was offset by the raging avalanche of hate directed his way.
The truth is Thole’s presense on Twitter was minimal at best, and there wasn’t a lot there. More beneficial is interacting and following other Mets fans and bloggers and discussion the team as fans. Two such people, Kelly Lake and Ted Berg, both wrote nice posts about Thole and Twitter, and they’re worth a read and a follow..as long as you’re not going to spew hate at them. Can’t we all get along?
Btw, you can follow me on Twitter too.
