I'd like to see a study which compares the average sentiment of a user's Tweets to the amount of Tweets that user has published in their lifetime.

From my casual observations I've seen a direct correlation between amount of lifetime Tweets a user has and the likelihood of them consistently Tweeting angry or hateful messages.

I’m not sure if # of tweets, which isn’t even equivalent to account age, is the appropriate figure here. Followers would be far more meaningful.

I don’t check # of tweets and therefore can’t judge your observation. But lookin at some top tweets and users, their content seems to invariably be more nuanced and civil than replies to them, which are mostly from frothing-at-the-mouth dickheads with no followers.
