I got locked out of Twitter for "threatening" the former guy.

Someone posted a photo of him where he appears to have a mark on his face and I replied I kind of hoped somebody slapped him upside the head. And I got put in Twitter jail for THAT.

Have they SEEN Twitter???

1. Unreal! n/t

2. That is absurd!

3. The thing

I've seen happening is Reich Wing clowns goading people into a confrontation and then complaining to FB, Twitter, etc., about the response. I'm pretty wary about anything I post being even vaguely construed as a threat...or even anything that is more than just an opinion as a target of potential future litigation (so I say "I think" or "In my opinion" a lot).

Not a lot of honor or fair fighting in that crowd...

ahem...

in my opinion.

4. It's standard right-wing troll behavior

They did that a lot with the old Discussionist message board, which is one reason that it turned into a cyber-sewer before they pulled the plug.

Right wingers no more believe in fair speech than they nelieve in free and fair elections.

5. Yep...

I insta-block a lot of people now...even if I see them doing the standard entrapment on others, I figure the preemptive strike is a good idea...online at least.

6. Yeah I figure that's what happened. Funny, I'm not confrontational.

I agree, fighting is useless. I just got flippant there for a minute. I keep trying to figure out if there are keywords and slap set it off after some kind of trolly alert. Who knows…. After the stuff TFG said for years it’s pretty ironic though.
