By the way, here are a couple of posts in which you cited Twitter posts to support something you were saying: > [@Hunter Biden artwork attracts ethics scrutiny](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hunter-biden-artwork-attracts-ethics-scrutiny/946031/292): > > According to one of CNN’s legal experts, this does present an ethics issue, because the White House was involved in drawing up the agreement between Hunter and the art dealer. Seems like the “but he’s just a private citizen, who cares,” argument falls flat when the WH involved itself in the agreement. > [@Trump pulled out of Paris Climate Accord to benefit Russia and Saudi Arabia](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-pulled-out-of-paris-climate-accord-to-benefit-russia-and-saudi-arabia/787912/40): > > Your posts in this thread are silly.

So you can probably see why your opinions on the validity of Twitter cites are greeted with skepticism. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-practices-for-requesting-cites/963370)._
