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

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?

Oh, when will we learn?
