@PhilosophyExp true, I've seen ppl on the list referred to as abusers numerous times on here today. Nobody is talking about levels.
Paul Mason responds about block bot on the BBC. A bit late making those distinctions now, though. http://bbc.in/16JzE6Y

@giggly_atheist@PhilosophyExp I'm level 2, which Mason calls "abusers". I tweeted him ystrdy re blockbot, but suspect my tweet was blocked. -
@Ellesun@giggly_atheist Yeah. Bloody ironic. Thing is, Mason now knows he screwed up. That, at least, is something. -
@PhilosophyExp@Ellesun he hadn't blocked me ystdy but had today n he's blocked others not on the bot list who have mentioned it -
@giggly_atheist@PhilosophyExp Odd for a journalist to cut off potential sources of information & opinion? Just asking; I'm#notajournalist -
@Ellesun@PhilosophyExp I got the impression they have received a rather large and unexpected backlash :) perhaps they are in damage control -
@giggly_atheist@Ellesun Yes, that's my impression. Basically, he fucked up because he was in a hurry, & didn't fact check. And he knows it.

@PhilosophyExp Good Mason noted the issue, however he did not even mention that the list is maintained by a very specific group of people. -
@RuralAtheist Indeed, it doesn't go far enough. But it is a start. We'll just have to see what happens next.

@PhilosophyExp It's no way enough for me. The BBC could have easily avoided this mess by not mentioning the list! -
@sjzara Right. But I think it shows they know there's a problem here. I guess we'll see how it plays out. -
.
@PhilosophyExp Yes. It seems that they are on the defensive.I do expect more to follow, especially as there have been official complaints - 1 more reply

@PhilosophyExp@giggly_atheist IT's 8pm, I don't see him saying sorry publically :( -
@twittwootwiggy@PhilosophyExp I don't know looks like he is minding his words and I've seen a few ppl mention legal process today -
@giggly_atheist@twittwootwiggy Don't think he can say sorry at this point. Legally problematic (coz admission of culpability).#notalawyer -
@PhilosophyExp@twittwootwiggy will be interesting to see what happens. -
@giggly_atheist@PhilosophyExp Back in't day spin doctors didn't faff about. His check must of bounced. -
@twittwootwiggy@PhilosophyExp ha the Dr on the list has 285k followers an mentioned libel today. They know they are in bother
