37. verified as bogus?

sarisataka: I am not twitter savvy ... Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I could see if the comment can be verified via twitter.

Verified as bogus you mean? if it was just the one tweet, any investigation would need contravene privacy details perhaps. But it's incongruous Shannon watts would do what beevul says she did. She's not a stupid lady, as your dossier showed, & she's not gonna put words like that in a notable cohort's mouth.
I think it so implausible that beevul's link to Shannon watts 'alternate' twitter mail account is valid. Beevul evidently thinks she created it & quickly deleted it 'just' to post the 'want guns gone' remark. How convenient for beevul, but most probably a lame excuse as is his forte when cornered.
Using the underscore to deviously duplicate another email address or twitter address is not uncommon - it can generally fool some of the people some of the time, as it did beevul & a bunch of others, and is generally a far rightwing tactic to smear & decieve. But once it is exposed the address should be discounted as valid & deemed a probable plant until proved otherwise. It should not be given credibility as beevul is pathetically doing, simply by his sayso that it sounds like something Shannon watts would say, or that she quickly deleted it to avoid detection (barf). This man is mainly here to disrupt & smear.

sari: I consider it a dumping ground for narcissists and a place to express regret for your "bad judgement" after losing your job for making a stupid comment to the world. I prefer to only say dumb things to people within earshot- I have to apologize less.

I think I mostly agree (not just for narcissists); tweets mostly seem more like flitting thoughts entering one's head which who gives a rats behind? They are mostly non binding, require little thought, usually prove nothing, and can be air-headed.

sari: I don't see why you find it so incredulous that Ms Watts would act as a spokesperson for Bloomberg. Since he "merged" MAIG and MDA into Everytown they have a business relationship.

I didn't say that she shouldn't act as spokeswoman for the merge. I said that it is far fetched she would say that particular contention about 'wanting guns gone' & attributing it to Bloomberg.
Was the linkedin dossier on SW supposed to reveal something sinister about her? seemed OK to me.
