Versus: Tweeting Movie Reviews?

Today’s debate stems from a single incident a couple of months ago wherein a person tweeted their opinion of a movie then was denounced for the action. Neither the circumstances of that quarrel nor the players involved are relevant here and I doubt that even if the people involved read this column, they would be aware that they were the causality of it. The reality is that internet arguments comprise approximately 50% of all web traffic that is not porn or sports related. And if we created a sports-porn web site, it would probably look a lot like SportsByBrooks.com. But I digress.
Who said what or why someone else is bothered by it is irrelevant here. What matters is the underlying issue. Is there a fundamental problem with someone who is presumably an expert in film criticism stating their overall opinion of a feature in 140 characters or less?
