We Are Not Running This Show

A multiple user conversation thread of comments on an article or on a blog post is the ultimate communication nightmare. There are endless possibilities. One can apparently answer to somebody's comment but choose words and expressions by which he actually answer to somebody else's or change the original sense of the post or of one of the comments in the thread.

This can go even further when somebody can post an article or a tweet with a totally different subject or area but insert in it words or expressions by which he can answer directly or subliminally to a targeted post or comment.

Or even further, one can anticipate somebody's post or behaviour and create a post, comment or even a news event before that person's actions, that can, beforehand, nullify, deny or even imply that a person is causing the event since they knew what you were going to post.

It all depends on the publisher's true intentions, and who has the bigger picture, more means and workforce. It may be that social networks were intentionally created with this purpose, by people who are ahead of average us and are baiting us into going into this global one to one, one to many and many to many communication race that only they are prepared for.
