A few days ago I added the members of RailsBridge to the people I follow on Twitter. Not one, but two people (indirectly but still obviously) complained about me having protected my tweets:

I replied to both of them. (First and second reply.) I admit the second reply was a bit snarky but I got annoyed by the fact that people assumes you want them to follow you back. I don’t. The reason I follow you is because I might be interested in what you’re doing. I chose to protect my tweets to prevent anyone from following what I do. Simple as that. Anyway, if you’re interested in following me, just send a request. I’ll most likely accept it.

Thanks for letting me explain this.
