    How is just tagging him by name, and repeating his first name succinct? I don’t get any sort of meaning from that response, it reads like a mistyped response.

      Just imagine your mom saying your full name with an audible full stop, right after you said/did something a bit dumb

          Oooh, I wonder if that’s part of what’s confusing the other guy. At this point I just completely filter out the tag when I’m reading a post like this, since very few people intend to incorporate it into the comment.

            As someone who’s managed to never use Twitter, it was very confusing. I guess it’s one of those things you pick up subconsciously and never really think about once you’ve used the system enough.
