'Away with you peons'! Jonathan Chait's Twitter filter is 'bad news for us rabble'

If you’ve ever wondered why New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait doesn’t respond to your tweets, wonder no more:

@brianbeutler Semi-related — I started setting my notifications to verified-only. Much better — less distracting, no garbage…

Got that? Step off, you unverified rubes!

I hope this doesn't become a trend. Bad news for us rabble. https://t.co/IkQwC0iFjh

@jonathanchait @brianbeutler "Away with you peons. And shame on you for your lack of diversity!"

Oh, darling, me too. I have my butler, Jeeves, check mine for me and filter out the riffraff. https://t.co/LAPWKPd1BF

Ugh. Untermenschen. <shudder> @jonathanchait

Not interested in licking Jonathan’s boots? Fine. He’s got no use for you.

@jonathanchait @brianbeutler So, an elitist doesn't want to hear from us "little people". Got it.

@CuffyMeh Man, I thought I was an elitist, but that guy makes me look like Eugene Debs.

What? You people are still tweeting at him?

Checked my non-verified mentions, and they're making a great case for why I should stick with verified. pic.twitter.com/lRy6407h06
