I quite agree, though it's hard to say what einstein's problem is.
He/She seems like a child to me, and that might explain why he/she
doesn't recognize the differences between internet services: Twitter,
mailing lists - moderated and not, newsgroups, etc - they're all "on the
internet". He/She doesn't seem to know where he is or what behavior is
appropriate to different services or even that there are differences,
like someone with little contact with these environments, and I'd guess
that Twitter is his/her model for how to do it. It's also likely that a
child would have fantasies about the meaning and importance of
unfamiliar things, and perhaps assume that some parent-like entity would
understand, explain and clean up after him/her.
