I don’t have any strong opinions about this ordeal, but the linked ‘receipts’ seemed a bit one-sided to me.

Here’s one of the tweets he mentions without a link: https://twitter.com/boop/status/1332815338820472833?s=21

@boob also calls to light this write up seemingly with more context: https://savingjournalism.substack.com/p/vcbrags-pasquale-mit...

Linked receipts seem to be exactly that - receipts. I don't see what the confusion is.

Why post images of tweets rather than link to the source? Seems like cherry-picking out parts of a conversation to me.

Because at least one of those users had already deleted their twitter account.

Because if any other of the users delete their accounts, the tweets will disappear too.

There's nothing strange about posting an inline image of something.

?? It is a) better than not providing proof like the accusers failed to provide and b) those same accusers can post their own proof if it's contradictory.
