“No one stutters on Twitter”

Loved this quote in the most recent Pew Internet Research report:

“If … the tendency to make remarks and adopt positions you would never consider in person can be overcome, online society stands a very real chance of taking interpersonal relationships to a level never before possible. Balancing out the anonymity and lack of physical contact is the ability to mask a plethora of medical and psychological conditions that until now have proven serious handicaps to social interaction. No one stutters or stammers on Twitter.” - Robert G. Ferrell, Former Systems Security Specialist, US Department of the Interior

Mashable has nice synopsis of the report, including other quotes from some of the 895 tech industry insiders surveyed for the report.
