If anyone is still following or reading @AreoMagazine and specifically @hpluckrose you might want to know that she just blocked me for politely suggesting she read a statistics paper.

Seriously? I just unblocked you coz Saloni said you wouldn't have been one of the ones going on & on at me rudely and we'd actually probably get on but it seems unlikely if you do things like this if someone blocks you.

I am reporting what happened so that folks who know both of us know why the twitter thread ended and the level of openness to new knowledge that you displayed in that thread.

Report away. Today I have blocked at least 10 people who tried to talk to me about statistics when I did not want to talk about statistics. It's just the quickest way to make it all stop when you're getting 100s of tweets. I defend the use of block, mute, private, whatever.

I know the feeling of getting a lot of tweets from folks you don't know, and it's not fun, but I generally don't block folks who are civil because I want to remain open to their ideas. Reasonable people can disagree on this of course, but I believe it matters.

OK. You can believe so. I don't.
