WHY I'M BITTER ABOUT TWITTER.

Some readers of my blog (of which I have very few) might find it curious that I include personal gripes and trivia. Once upon a time I would have used Twitter for that and, in fact, had written more than a thousand tweets. Then one day I was permanently barred from tweet unfairly because I called Laura Ingraham a "bitch". My tweet seemed harmless compared to many others I've read. I wrote to their offices and they would not be moved, especially by logic, and I assumed Laura (who is a bitch by the way) was someone to be appeased. Though my tweet was short and hardly vindictive other than the use of that one word, here's what Twitter's paranoid staff read into it: Your account has been suspended and will not be restored because it was found to be violating Twitter's Terms of Service, specifically the Twitter Rules against hateful conduct. It is against our rules to promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease.
