      She's blocked you so you won't be able to see them. You can cope with other people having different views even if you think they are wrong. People are allowed to be wrong & also to decline to discuss further with you. Don't circumvent blocks in order to force people to hear you.

      ive found bad takes behind block walls before. that’s what i do but hey, i’m sure this was an anomaly from her because everyone ive spoken to is shocked about it. so it’s cool 😎 (i’ll keep my screenshots up, though, as receipts. the internet doesnt forget)

      Consider not doing that but respecting that if someone has taken steps not to have contact with you, this is a request to be left alone that you should respect rather than forcing the contact & justifying it with 'But she's really, really wrong.'

      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.

      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.

      Replying to @notCursedE @andrealoko_ and

      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.

      Replying to @HPluckrose @notCursedE and

      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...
