The bookish on twitter

Wondered if this was the famous horror story writer sense-of-humor I've heard about (I live with someone who loves his books...)

"Boy, I'm stumped on that one. I don't like to think it's true, and there's an element of palpable bitchery there, but..."

"Hold up yall. Stephen King is no misogynist, nor advocate of rape. We can disagree on this w/o ad hominem attacks"

"Oh who knows. Stephen King is no misogynist tho. 140 characters catches us all. Complex issue"

"Maybe he thinks the editorial writer bitchy. Or even me. I don't think it's his response to yng woman's letter"

hint...pls clarify!!!

(I'm just guessing the "palpable bitchery" (ad hominemy?) referred to mia farrow since I kind of remember from way back in, say, junior high?...ah, reading newsweek in social studies class...that everyone thought the mother was putting her young daughter "up to" the accusations out of bitterness...)

Update:

"Have no opinion on the accusations; hope they're not true. Probably used the wrong word."

"Still learning my way around this thing. Mercy, please."

OK, well who knows. "Palpable bitchery" somehow alighted on a tweet, I guess.
