Isn't it interesting how easy it is to get very irritated when somebody takes away the free ice cream?

The problem is that these things become mass platforms that people depend on. People praise Twitter when it's doing well and pile on when it fails.

The original planned maintenance period was, in fact, in the middle of the night U.S. time and was changed specifically to minimize the downtime for Iranians.

I think this would have been a good idea had it not been publicized. Now it looks like our gov't is deliberately interfering, although in a seemingly benign way.

Idiots that were specifically asked by State to reschedule the down time for early morning Tehran time?

You're right. What kind of idiots schedule maintenance during the middle of the day in the country that is 99 percent of their market?!
