"Conducting a measured, informative, respectful conversation on Twitter is an art. I know because I have not mastered it, and the consequences have been--as they say--interesting. On June 6, 2015 journalist and film producer, Elinor Burkett published an Opinion in the New York Times Sunday Review concerning the coming out of a well-known public figure, Caitlyn Jenner. Jenner, formerly well known as Bruce Jenner, was the 1976 Olympic Decathalon record setter and seller of Wheaties. Subsequently, she was the husband (now divorced) of Kris Kardashian and father of their two daughters, as well as a player in the reality TV show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", and was followed up by a cover spread and lavish inside story in the July issue of Vanity Fair. Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz's stunning visuals of Jenner's coming out received huge public attention. "
