their tweets. So, why is this such a big deal. Do all these people "blocking" others not realize that they can still view their tweets?


And, yes, I do know about the twitter lawsuit re: Trump, but in general, why is blocking perceived to be such a big deal?

In fact, that they're official policy statements. So it's probably not legal to block anyone from seeing them (regardless of how much or little extra work is involved).

In addition, it violates Twitter's (seldom enforced) policy to block someone and then tweet about them, which Trump also does.

is the equivalent of making it on to Nixon's enemies list.

I must get a Twitter account, start following Trump and see if I can achieve this honor.

My son is gay and I meant no disrespect, would never intentionally say anything insulting about gay community. Since this offended you, and I have respect for you, I will self delete.

but to women, really. The implication that women are weak is counter to the reality. Attacking a man for being girly is an attack on women, I think. Anyhow, I self-deleted my reply to your post.
