1. They are reading your stuff on smart phones with a screen so small if you view porn on it, you really will go blind.

Not all thoughtful comments have to be long. "Sorry this letter was so long but I didn't have enough time to write a shorter one." [Editing works]
Yes, this can be a problem. But I fail to see how this is my problem. While information density of language can vary (I am always astounded how marketing people in my company can talk for 20 minutes to say something I would've said in 30 seconds), there is a limit. If the information I want to convey requires 300 characters, I'll use 300 characters.
2. Get over yourself. If you want to sell books to a specific market you have to meet them on their terms or write them off.
I don't view twitter or facebook as specific markets. I view them as a way to reach a general audience (specific markets would be things like the advertisement I placed in a medical journal). And by basically giving up on twitter as I did, I did 'write off that market' (if you view it as such), so I don't see how your decision to insult me with a snarky "get over yourself" was particularly productive.
