My take is she was charged $7 for a croissant and this shocked her. So much so that she had to put it in all CAPS in a tweet. When she gets called out on the silliness of her tweet, it quickly becomes: "Don't take me so seriously" and in the same thought "I'm talking about human dignity".

It was a stupid tweet and she got called on it. I thought we liked that sort of thing around here.

I don't have an issue with him arguing a straw man on twitter either. When you lick the boots of the guy who called your wife ugly and your dad a traitorous murderer, there's little you can do to further embarrass yourself. 

I think simply dismissing it as her upset with the price of croissants is way off base, but I don't care enough to try to change anyone's mind beyond my first response. If we're more concerned with the way the message was presented than actually addressing the message itself, we're not actually going to have a dialogue.

It is good to note that people will respond more vigorously to bad comparisons on twitter than out right lies on twitter.
