One of the most annoying denizens of Twitter (to me) is the Twitter nanny who, whenever I quote-Tweet or respond to, for instance, an antivax Tweet in order to refute its misinformation, inevitably shows up in my responses to oh-so-self-righteously scold me for "amplifying" it.

Over the years, my impression of such people has developed to this conclusion: The vast majority of them care far more about asserting their intellectual and moral "superiority" than they do about actually slowing or stopping the spread of misinformation on Twitter.

It's gotten to the point lately where I'm seriously considering instituting a policy of automatically blocking people who show up in my mentions ONLY to self-righteously scold me for "amplifying" misinformation.

My block list is vast and grows daily. I don’t owe anyone my aggravation.
