1.1 Tweets of Summer Howarth and co to include in my next book

 

The next book will, in fact, be my fifth book. My fourth book was printed only for free distribution.

Please excuse me for temporarily parking this post here. I am considering writing another book and would like to include these tweets. After a short period of time it is not possible to collect material from Twitter.

 

This chapter is to show readers that there are many educated fools on Twitter who click ‘like’ on tweets without reading the full text. This will create the wrong impression on other readers.

When the author is questioned, in as polite a manner as possible, to say what it is that one has said that is disrespectful the author does not respond and instead blocks the questioner. This is not the way adults should behave.

From the tweets below you will see examples of twitters commenting without knowing head or tail of what is written. You will see Twitters not answering specific questions but beat around the bush. You will see Twitters who block another for no apparent reason.

Specifically:

i.                     ‘Steph please explain how I wasn't respectful in any of my responses.’ (David) This is a straight forward question. If I had such a chance I will go for the jugular. I did not like the way David ‘grilled’ me either but I answered all his questions and he relented.

ii.                   I understand. It is like mosquitoes like this guy @KevinWheldall (Luqman Michel). Yes, this guy who claims to be an educator and behavior researcher keeps liking tweets and when asked as to why he clicked ‘like’ he shuts up. Perhaps he is studying my behaviour. But does he not understand the implications of clicking ‘like’?

iii.                 Boris Henry@BorisTough who claims to be a teacher and is uncouth. This teacher wrote that David has a small penis and that explains his behaviour. Boris was also asked for one example of bullying Steph but there was no response.

iv.                 And suddenly come our heroine from nowhere: Rebecca Urban.

v.                   ‘There you go gaslighting AGAIN. David, if multiple people point out the same thing to you over and over again, it might be worth some self reflection.’ (Summer Howarth @EduSum). When asked for details she blocked me and then came in to comment under the name of EventfulLearning_Co.

vi.                 Another minor player is Stephen Zhang @stevezhangteach

Educator and passionate about developing 21st Century Learners. I wonder why he liked the tweet.

 

Here are the details, I will write my comments  in the book.

On 24.8.2020 @NarelleLynch1 Replying to @luqmanmichel  @JudyGouldSF1 and 6 others

Tweeted the following:

I’m blocked by someone in this thread so apologies if my tweets seem out of context.

I then tweeted:

I simply don't understand why s/o would block a/o at all. It is immature and shows a lack of upbringing.

I just ignore tweets meant to irritate me and the irritators just disappear.

If you write s/t unpalatable I just let others read it and decide...

 

Dr David Zyngier then tweeted as follows:

Me too. SPs really don't like being asked questions do they?

Steph Le Lievre @SpeechieTeach_ tweeted:

That’s really unfair. I tried to engage in a really respectful debate with you. I am allowed to block who I choose. I’m not an SP. I was one. I am a teacher.

Dr David Zyngier responded as follows:

Steph please explain how I wasn't respectful in any of my responses. Or those of @NarelleLynch1

You profile says you are a SP now a teacher.

Dr David Zyngier further wrote:

No doubt it can Steph. That's social media. If you want to stay within a bubble or echo chamber that's your choice. But that's not going to expand your knowledge or practice. That only occurs through intellectual challenge. Same for our students really.

I then tweeted:

I choose not to block a/o Steph. I let them say what they want and they stop writing when I do not respond. I will take on a/o in a respectful debate. Your profile says knowledge is key. How do we gain knowledge if we block those with a different opinion?

Is telling the truth considered vitriol?

Why would s/o like Pamela Snow block me?

If such people are worth their salt, they should have an open debate instead of blocking a/o who disagrees with them.

Steph Le Lievre @SpeechieTeach_Replying to @luqmanmichel

I only block when there is the gang mentality- they tag the same people each time to try to suffocate those with views different to theirs. I have lots of respectful debates with others I disagree with. These people are bullies.

And it goes both ways- do you think David and co learn from all the people they continually badger? No. I told them that MY ITE did not include any current research on reading instruction- they gave a list of excuses and insisted I had to be wrong. Honestly

I then responded:

I understand. There are many of the kind you mention. David did 'grill' me but when I answered his questions he was big enough to accept and move on. Read my post at

I understand. It is like mosquitoes like this guy @KevinWheldall

 liked a reply to a Tweet without knowing head or tail about what is going on.

Ask him why he liked that tweet and he will have no idea.

And he claims to be an educator!

Yes, I have had some too. But I do not block them. I ask them questions and they disappear.

Then out of the blues come this uncouth person BorisHenry @BorisTough

What, so you can bully her some more?

Dr David Zyngier @dzyngier Replying to @BorisTough @SpeechieTeach_ and 7 others

Boris SHOW me ONE example of bullying of Steph.

Zyngier- you are a cretin of a human! You’re a bully in the most narcissistic of ways. You must have the smallest penis in history! Big man shaming women, you creepy old man.

Dr David Zyngier

Thank you Boris. Not sure what you have been taking but I'm certain you should stop!

BorisHenry

@BorisTough Replying to @luqmanmichel @dzyngier and 7 others

He’s a poisonous, underhanded, narcissistic misogynist. Be careful of him.

I responded:

@BorisTough this is very unbecoming of a teacher. Zyngier also asked me, in fact, grilled me with questions after questions and I responded. I don't believe he shames women. Let us lay the cards on the table - give concrete examples of how he bullied.

 

 

@PATSTONE55 Replying to @luqmanmichel @BorisTough and 8 others

This person is not a teacher.

And suddenly come our heroine from nowhere: Rebecca Urban

She liked a reply to my Tweet

I only block when there is the gang mentality- they tag the same people each time to try to suffocate those with views different to theirs. I have lots of respectful debates with others I disagree with. These people are bullies.

Summer Howarth @EduSum Replying to @dzyngier @BorisTough and 8 others

There you go gaslighting AGAIN. David, if multiple people point out the same thing to you over and over again, it might be worth some self reflection.

Dr David Zyngier

Oh Summer. I ask a question of an anonymous TROLL and you leap to her defence? Your behaviour attacking me at every opportunity is disconcerting.

Summer Howarth @EduSum Replying to @dzyngier @BorisTough and 8 others

How was she a troll? She’s a teacher with a profile outlining who she is!

Dr David Zyngier

@dzyngier

Summer did you read what anonymous TROLL Boris wrote?

Is this acceptable? Would you call that out as bullying and harassment

Dr David Zyngier

Blocked again. Why? Steph acknowledged that I had been respectful.

Dr David Zyngier

Summer would you use such abusive language?

Summer Howarth

shhhhhh I'm working with teachers. I don't have time for you.

Dr David Zyngier

Pot kettle black! You jump at shadows to attack me but when I'm abused and harassed all of a sudden you're too busy.

BorisHenry

Truth hurts huh?

Stephen Zhang another guy who suddenly  appeared and

liked a Tweet you were mentioned in

shhhhhh I'm working with teachers. I don't have time for you.

Narelle

IMO there’s miscommunication here , you’re both referring to different people. Time to move on.

But I will highlight the tweet in question that was sent to David is unacceptable-disgusting . One of the reasons I blocked the troll.

Summer Howarth

To be clear, I am ALWAYS too busy when it comes to you and your crap. But when you vilify teachers, I’ll call it out.

Narelle

Will you also call out his support for teachers? Sorry,  just playing devil’s advocate.

Summer Howarth

No because I expect good behaviour and that’s why we are here, to support each other.

 

Narelle

If we are here to support each other, you would also understand his position as I do yours.

Summer Howarth @EduSum

Cool. When you’ve been as vilified as I have by this man, you might be keen to jump to the support of others he’s poking as too. Onwards.

Narelle

I don’t know the context of your situation. I was speaking from the context of this one. I support academic discussion and don’t condone attacks on anyone.

Dr David Zyngier

And when pray tell have I vilified teachers?  You think if you keep telling a lie enough people will believe it? You are approaching defamation. You've been warned.

Summer Howarth

Oh go away, David. You clearly upset a teacher today and I called it out. You have been an absolute nasty piece of work to me and I know of clever people who refuse to turn up to events because you’re involved. I will call out your bad behaviour. It’s quite simple.

 

Dr David Zyngier

You keep on throwing mud Summer. Either provide evidence or retract.

No one appears to answer the questions asked.

What a sordid state of affairs.

The basic question is what did David say that was disrespectful to Steph?

How did David vilify Summer?

I have copied these tweets ideal for one chapter for my 4th book.

That’s really unfair. I tried to engage in a really respectful debate with you. I am allowed to block who I choose. I’m not an SP. I was one. I am a teacher.
