> I have ADHD: it makes writing blogs hard but Twitter easy. So it gets quickly tiring that every time I'm posted there [to HN] that the comments immediately go "why isn't this a blog? Twitter is a bad site for this kind of writing and I hate it blarg"

This exact comment of yours is a prime example of why foone hates it when their tweets are posted here.
And yeah, you're right, it's definitely easier for the reader, but the author isn't required to make it easy for their audience -- if it was, Judith Butler wouldn't Judith...Butle and James Joyce wouldn't James Joyce. Foone writes tweets, 149k people have chosen to read their tweets. Personally, while I agree a blog'd be nice, I'm just glad foone makes their knowledge available.
But on the other hand I have ADD and there's a chance I get bored with a twitter thread and move on before finishing it while a blog post allows me to keep it open in a tab and read it in steps.
