I'm not disagreeing but a couple of things.
- When living and interacting locally I think folks moderate their views a bit - call it "politeness"?
- Views locally are somewhat more homogenized?
- For better and worse, I'm not sure you'd last that long in Caribbean if you were just a twitter bomb thrower, even if justified - my impression was even things like whistleblowing would not be very well received (ie, if I'd complained about various govt officials not being at their desks when they should have been - it wouldn't have come over well). This may be wrong and certainly has changed as folks become more aware of what should and shouldn't happen.
