Infuriating point missage. Best ignored.

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?
-
Yes, I think so. People chose to use them.
-
I agree with all of this. Twitter is still, at bottom, a conversation. Everyone has the right to walk away without being stalked. I’ve been known to block, when I feel the person in question is particularly toxic. It’s the right of free association.

fair enough, at least youre consistent. (
@4lternate_facts take note, don’t subtweet ppl who block you) -
Got a piece coming out in a few days about this. Been getting a lot of it myself. People justifying harassing me, getting past blocks, making new accounts on the grounds that I'm not only wrong but really, really wrong. If I don't want to be harassed, I shldn't criticise feminism
-
i dont think that's what she's saying she will be doing tho going incognito to screen shot and make fun of bad takes isnt the same thing as that.
-
No, it's much milder. I would still advocate not finding ways to get around a block which is someone's intention not to speak to you or hear from you. I think we should respect that wish but don't harshly judge people who think it's OK providing contact isn't forced.
-
I approve of the idea of respect but I think that we should be able to argue about things people said. Even beyond a block. It’s how we challenge ideas. Although, with that stalker issue you have I completely understand why you are so against the idea. That guy is mental.

-
I think we do too but only if we have legitimate access to what people have said. Not if we have forced access to it despite explicit steps the person has taken to prevent that access. If someone else has posted a screenshot tho...

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)
