Is it bad manners to retweet praise?

Some Twitter users don't like it when you retweet a compliment, Adam Sternbergh writes: "This social dilemma is of particular salience to that solipsistic corner of Twitter populated by people who use Twitter, at least partially, as an implicit form of self-promotion: People who also write articles or books or songs or plays, or who otherwise have some sort of artistic or charitable or commercial pursuit that they would like to tastefully bring to your attention."
