Idiotic speculation protected

Lefties are very much inclined to use social media and blogs to share information about themselves, often revealing the most intimate of details. Yet if this publicly available information is referred to Lefties often scream "STALKING!" or some such.

Conservatives, on the other hand, are generally more circumspect in revealing personal information online.

Deprived of volunteered information from their ideological opponents Lefties are forced to delve and speculate in seeking to reveal the information they crave but cannot lay their hands on. This delving and speculation can prove disastrous:

An interesting thing has since happened: clicking on Kedgie's Tweet produces this:

This person has protected their tweets.

Lefties are indeed slow-learners.
