According to Twitter, I've been a bad boy and more than once. Early yesterday afternoon, I received an email advising my account was locked for violating some non-specified portion of their rules. This is my fourth suspension in the past three months, so I was rather miffed. You'll understand why, later. When I discovered the penalty for this latest infraction, I felt a mix of outrage and depression.
Before addressing my latest horrible act, I think it makes sense to quickly review what previously got me thrown in Twitter jail.
The first was a result of referring to Q Bitch Sporkfoot MTG as a "classless bimbo." That one may have just edged the TOS, but no one can argue the statement wasn't factually correct.
The next two both involved the right wing looneys' favorite crybaby teen, Kyle Rittenhouse. I was punished for referring to him as an "attention whore" and a then, a "teenage pansy". I take serious issue with both of those, not only because of their accuracy, but because they flat out don't violate the TOS. In fact, one of the gif options IN THE TWITTER APP specifically says "Attention Whore"
I'll say that again: I was suspended for using a phrase Twitter allows you to pic as a gif!
For each of these three heinous non-offenses, I received a week long timeout.
Because rules are nothing if they don't equally apply to everyone, I happened on the tweet below that clearly violated the rules against making disparaging comments regarding someone's sexual orientation. Stew Peters is one of the most malignant right wing slime balls on the site and was behind the Suddenly Dying movie. Anyway, I reported the tweet and received a message from Twitter saying the tweet didn't violate TOS.
That brings us back to my latest infraction. The offending tweet was in response to a story on Newsmax about Ron DeSatan confirming himself to be a distasteful piece of waste, by stating he was serious about making criminals out of teachers who violated his bigoted, racist laws and they would see jail time. My response was "Except for minorities and LGTQ, who will be summarily executed." I was intentional in my wording for two reasons. First was to emphasize what a hateful little prick he is and second, I wanted to see how many likes such a nasty sentiment would get from the right wing idiots. The answer is twelve (and zero challenges on being a horrible human being), which absolutely disgusts me.
At this point, you may be wondering what penalty I received for suggesting minorities and LGTBQ should be executed. If insulting heroes of the stupid got me three, one week suspensions, surely my account would be under serious review for advocating something so vile. Nope, I received a twelve hour suspension, which has obviously been served.
An intelligent human being would never look at these situations and consider them as proof Elmo is treating his right wing sycophants in a more favorable manner to those he disagrees with, but it does make one wonder.
