“Over three months in the Sum­mer of 2010, in addi­tion to my nor­mal Twit­ter account @mgoldst, I had a Twit­ter account by the name of @AngryPaulRand. Like every design­er I have ever met, I had some things I had always want­ed to say, and using Paul Rand as a foil seemed OK to me—he was dead, after all, and had a rep­u­ta­tion as a bril­liant but tough per­son­al­i­ty. It also seemed like a fun thing to do while wait­ing for Grad­u­ate School to start. I cre­at­ed the account, tossed out a few fun­ny, point­ed tweets, and two months lat­er I had almost 15,000 fol­low­ers. 15,000 fol­low­ers on Twit­ter put this account in the 99.87% per­centile in terms of Twit­ter infamy.…” —Mitch Gold­stein on being Angry Paul Rand
