Honestly I wonder if this skews the data at all. 10 people use Twitter, 1 of which is fascist; 5 decent people leave, and now the site is 10% more fascist. Is that driving users more rightward, or driving off more left audiences?

Interesting. But the ratio and total users would both change. Are ppl actually quitting Twitter at all?
