I downvoted it for "Twitter lol".

1) The "lol" is unnecessary and juvenile

2) The statement indicates that either using Twitter should somehow be obvious, or that the poster is not taking the posed question seriously

On balance, it pulls the level of discourse down, which is my (and the proper) criteria for a downvote.

I would appreciate that you not censor other people comments over such trivial things.

Because it's really annoying to everyone else. And thus rude.
