@dickc @jennydeluxe I don't agree with this policy.

@blam go on (i do, fwiw)

@jennydeluxe @dickc slippery slope telling people what they can and can't post, when twitter is as essential of a pipe as the Internet.

@jennydeluxe @dickc imagine if Verizon stopped letting bits through that were unsavory? This is what the block button is for

@blam @dickc That's a little different, I think.

@jennydeluxe @dickc Twitter is interesting because it's real. Even if ugly at times.

@blam Fundamentally, I agree with you. But not on those images.

@dickc What makes this imagery different from what we've seen in Gaza, Syria or Iraq? What is the standard for reporting images on wars?

@digiphile @dickc Hard to believe a journalist would ask such a question.

@Tony_Kranz Why?

@digiphile So you think a journalist isn't in a special category where they shouldn't be captured and beheaded?

@Tony_Kranz A suggestion for you, councilor: don't put words in the mouths of others, particularly regarding the murder of media.

@digiphile Nowhere in this thread did I put words in anyone's mouth. I asked a clarifying question, and you clarified.

@Tony_Kranz Your construction implied that my previous tweet meant that I might think journalists should be captured & beheaded.
