Then Dawkins needs to get off Twitter, because it will never give him what he wants. He hasn't found a problem in society, he's found a problem on Twitter. As it stands, he's yelling at the ceiling because it's blocking his view of the sky. He needs to go outside.

You made a grammatically correct point but I’m not sure it’s logically sound.

Human Twitter posters are members of society. How is it possible to wave off their behavior as not a problem in society when those members of society are the problem?

Don't we all need to do it?

The overlap between the two is large enough, that I don't think you can find a non-technical problem on Twitter that isn't also a problem within society itself.

Like everyone else.
