Infuriating point missage. Best ignored.

this is inconsistent logic. i’m blocked by tara mccarthy, as are many others. we shouldnt subtweet her when she says something dumb?
-
No. You should not find ways to circumvent people's blocks even if you really, really disagree with them. If someone takes steps to prevent you from having contact with them, you should not force that contact. Applies even to people who you think morally reprehensible.

It’s a normal part of twitter though. To screenshot a tweet & argue against it if you are blocked. It’s not forcing an interaction. It’s arguing points without interacting. I can see why you might disagree with this, though. But it is something quite common on twitter

-
I do disagree with it. I have always disagreed with forcing contact but I now disagree with getting past blocks too because of an escalating problem where people think they have right of access to people they strongly disagree with. Gonna publish on this in a few days.

I hadn't considered this until recently. Prominent lunatics who block half of Twitter say something lunatic, screencap and mock. What's the harm? But I'm starting to think we need to regain not only respect for freedom of speech but for freedom to decide who you talk/listen to.

Even Steve Shives?

Yes, I think so. I will no longer screencap and discuss someone who has blocked me because I do not like it when people do it to me. There were some radfems doing it for a while. I want to respect boundaries generally. I might join someone else's conversation of a screenshot tho.

Does being automatically blocked by a block-bot really count?

Loading seems to be taking a while.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
(i’ll keep my screenshots up, though, as receipts. the internet doesnt forget)
