    There are few things that irritate me more on Twitter than Twitter scolds who tell me what I should and should not post or whom I should or should not "amplify." So far, I've resisted the urge to respond or even mute or block, but I don't know how much longer I can hold out.😬

        Of course, then there are the Twitter "experts" who feel obligated to tell me when I've responded to a bot or troll. Yes, most of the time I knew it was probably a bot or a troll but responded anyway to make a point. Thanks for letting me know.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

        I much prefer muting, as with a block they can then complain about it, but with mute they're just screaming pointlessly into the void

        Aren’t people amazing? Apparently, so many of them have so completely fixed their lives that they have time to spare to help you...

        Why not engage? I’m guilty of asking why you retweet some ridiculous statement from a person with 22 followers, but I’d be happy to read your argument for why it’s a good use of your platform.

        I would be more sympathetic if I did not know you author a blog that makes good and frequent use of ridicule of others over their beliefs and what they post.

        Haha, I have a "is it worth my time" filter before I respond but that doesn't mean you have to! You be you. It's apparently working for most! :) The best version we can put out there is our genuine selves.
