tl;dr: For practical reasons, blocking people who yell at you, even if you really fucked up, can't fairly be seen to compound the offence.
It's possibly a bad faith decision, but if you're speaking about someone you dislike, not to them, why does their blocking matter?
-
-
mostly because I didn't dislike them, just said something critical about 1 opinion of theirs but had deliberately not @-ed them
-
If it's someone you know, it's a shitty move. But from a stranger? ehhhhhh

completely ok with being blocked if I was being rude directly, but seemed a bit unfair that person had sought out ppl to block
-
I get why it stung, but calling it "unfair" presupposes that you were entitled to having that access in the first place.

person also shares their block lists with others, so has potential flow on effects

anyway I'm not losing sleep over it (I have a baby for that!) but wondered what you thought given the twitter thread :)

I think some people act preemptively, and that everyone curates their own digital garden of potential shitstorms differently. also
