> friendlysock was using one of the many tropes detractors use to derail criticism they don't like (throwing insults trope). It's not that friendlysock is missing the point, they're actively trying to derail criticism.

Criticism of criticism is strictly as valid as the original one. Also, I see no insults in this quote.

I'm not defending Dorsey, but it is disingenuous to label everything you disagree with as "derailment" and downplay opposing viewpoints as something "they don't like".

Re insults, I would guess Heretic_Blacksheep was referring to the phrase "hurr durr," which when used in a quote implies (at best) that the quoted speaker is a "stereotypical idiot."
