Michael Coren’s repeated Twitter joke had a secret agenda. This week, more than 300,000 people liked or retweeted a quip about sex-ed that Coren recycled from a few times before—a point he didn't take well to having pointed out. But the occasional unkind reply provided grist for his Walrus tirade about how Twitter only wants you to hate: “It’s a little like the road rage you feel in your car, where the weak feel powerful and the cowardly brave,
because they cannot see their victim or target and assume that the person they are attacking cannot and will not ever hit them back,” he writes with sizeable self-awareness, having spent years shouting at distant adversaries over the airwaves.
