So, based on the second paragraph of article:

    It’s honestly a very immature tweet. It’s something I wouldn’t say
    today. I have personally grown past the hate of the two party system.
    I feel like I have a clearer and more mature view on American
    elections, as well as seeing past the endless media designed to keep
    most people angry. This tweet was from a different era in my life. I’m
    not proud of it, yet it is a part of my history. Furthermore, it’s
    nearly a decade old.
are you suggesting that this reader is too thoughtful for twitter?

Or that by allowing them to stay on the platform, they provide an example that people can temper their political extremism over time by maturation and introspection, thereby disproving that the flyswatter techniques you seemingly prefer for the moderation of discourse may be ill-suited to actually promoting healthy discourse?

I'm not following the logic.
