I can't tell if you are being facetious, or are in actual agreement with me??
I think we've all seen the evidence that, even sticking to small talk, and trying to say the right things in attempt to endear one person or group of people, can often lead to unintended interpretations and result in the alienation of another. Even the slightest indiscretion, when widely distributed in the media, can have seemingly unimaginable consequences. I sorta feel sorry for celebraties for that reason - sorta.
I guess what I meant by "keep your twitter closed" is that, IMO, being discrete is the simplest way to maintain a positive image in the media - including the social media. By keeping your personal life and beliefs low-key, you minimize the supply of ammunition that may be used against you by potential detractors. Als
