Twitticide
(the original post has been updated...see below)
Well ... it's been a pretty good run... I've heard of it often enough... being locked out of twitter... but it's never happened to me personally before...
I just reached 20,000 or so posts... All of them originally typed and placed by hand...and yes, I know, that's far too much time tweeting...
but it's also the 1st time I've been knocked off of twitter...
I tried resetting... so far, to no avail... I've got a few emails in to twitter support...still haven't had an update...just a notice
they received my request... I've not yet received their reset code... without that, apparently can't get anywhere...
So we'll see what happens... right now all of my posts or replies are no longer visible...like I was never on twtter
Twitter is free... I really didn't or don't expect anything... it's not a service I pay for... they have the right to do whatever they want...
it's their business...I know... and although I try not to say anything unnecessarily offensive...
(if the truth itself is offensive to someone, I can't change that, that's just what it is)
I don't F-bomb... etc...but I certainly have been known to call Obama a traitor... the other day I called Obama and his administration bastards...for selling one of the legendary arsenals of democracy, Chrysler Corporation, to Italian concerns... instead of creating an employee owned esop or something... which they could have done...and saved the company for American concerns... is that too over the top?
Yes, I can tend to be pretty blunt...I've hit the stage in my life where I'm beyond fed up with the people who are really hurting America and our future...so I'm not really
to soft and fuzzy when I talk about them. Can you blame me?
But I always try to be 100% honest...and yes...arguably...maybe because of that, sometimes I'm not the sweetest...
My last posts before I got bumped off were a post against a Maine congressional candidate, Jared Golden, who was boasting he had just got endorsed by Obama...
I responded with My usual rants about Obama... between the record national debt, attempts at selling out our sovereignty to UN,
the sin of the Iran deal... and him or his administration selling Chrysler to Italian concerns... I told Jared Golden (he's a "progressive socialist") that he deserved Obama's endorsement. (and no, that isn't a compliment)
The next day they locked my account out, saying it had signs of automation... "Your account appears to have exhibited automated behavior that violates the Twitter Rules: https://support.twitter.com/articles/18311" .... but none of my posts are automated...
Yes... I've been knocking the "progressives" Democratic Socialism... pointing out all the people who have tragically perished due to marxist socialism, communism, today they're calling the same crap democratic socialism, etc...and shouldn't we all knock that?... and I've also pointed out the awful b.s. attacks against Kavanaugh... the same ole, same ole despicable left wing attempts to attack & destroy conservative justices...Bork, Thomas and now Kavanaugh...am I wrong to?
Updated:
And It sure seems pretty strange... while I'm getting bumped off of twitter, during the same time period, the hashtag #killkavanaugh was
"trending" on twitter... does someone at twitter believe that's o.k.?, (or was that not brought to their attention?)....I don't know....but it seems kind of indicative.
The fact they didn't give someone a chance to rebut the claim before they shut them off...seems a little indicative...(I'm not sure if that makes me very comfortable)
As a general recommendation to conservatives that Tweet, I think it would be prudent to be careful and don't put all your eggs in one basket...
I did receive notice today that my account was reinstated or unlocked... I don't appear to have lost any posts,
and twitter apologized to me,
so I must say, Thank You, again, to Twitter...
Again, Twitter is a free service... we all grow somehow accustomed to receiving these free services...twitter, facebook, hotmail or gmail, etc., but we shouldn't grow accustomed as thinking of these free services as something that is inherently "ours"... because they're definitely not.
We don't own them... we merely participate in them...and are always subject to having that participation limited or enjoined or cut off by the organization's policies or
changes in their directions or motivation, or perhaps merely to a newer algorithmic screening.
I have enjoyed the opportunity on twitter to air my opinion(s)... to enable communication with others who share similar beliefs...or have discourse or debate with people who don't, and to also to be able to try to fight against what I believe is clearly misrepresented or wrong, within the forum of twitter.
and I think that is really a pretty incredible thing...
Twitter has offered me that opportunity, and I do truly appreciate that...
