Gerber: Unsweet tweets bite new editor

We live in a world of chronic tweeters. Heck, even the pope has a Twitter account.

So I didn’t think much when I received an email a week ago Saturday, saying our new Free Press editorial page editor was tweeting. He should be; social media will be an integral part of his job when he joins us later this month.

Then I clicked over to his supposed tweets and read some of them.

I clutched my smartphone so tightly, I’m surprised it didn’t shatter.

The tweets were snarky, smug, rude, inappropriate and highly offensive.
