This is my first time on twitter in many months. What did I miss?

Initial feedback from previous tweets suggests I should own up to my mistakes. With hindsight, I made plenty of terrible choices for my role in this, and I've lost plenty of nights sleep over my bad decisions. 1/5

Nothing was done with malice. Fixing sensitive problems is hard, and communicating problems that require privacy to the public is even harder. If you feel I've done you wrong, consider this my apology. 4/5

I'm really not trying to spin anything here. I just want to find a path to getting past this so my colleagues and I can get back to talking about data science again without fear of reprisal. 5/5

It seems I am now involved in an ill-advised twitter war with most of the #rstats community. I'm taking your anger and frustration as a sign that you care. Thank you for that! Let's try again. 1/6

Snark and shitposting do not in any way make DataCamp or the data science community a better place. I find it difficult to provide thoughtful, honest statements when I know whatever I write will be willfully misinterpreted and trashed. 5/6

Many of my colleagues will be looking at this thread to try and decide if it is safe to return to Twitter. They have many great things to say about data science education. If you don't make this a safe place to talk, you'll miss out on what they have to say. 6/6
