Re: Emily Oster says 'Let's forgive and forget'

On twitter, one can react to a tweet by "liking," by commenting, and/or by retweeting or quote-tweeting (which is retweeting with one's own commentary added). The author of that Atlantic story posted a tweet announcing her Atlantic story yesterday; as of this morning her tweet had fewer than 2,000 likes, but more than 6,000 quote tweets and 27,000 (!) comments. Since someone commenting or quote-tweeting in agreement would likely have pressed "like" as well, you can assume that the vast majority of those comments and quote tweets are critical. That's getting ratioed, and that ratio is a doozy!

The American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten piped up to say she agrees with the author, and she got it pretty bad too.
