I confess I jumped on too hastily. I liked the general point (and specifics) but myopically missed the lack of explicit connections to y’all. In my head I didn’t view the post in isolation...pic.twitter.com/1X4PH5jQcR
You haven't done anything wrong, at all, and I am genuinely sorry you feel this way and I know it's tricky and that Twitter is really hard. But I said no snitching because I think it's sadly what you're indirectly asking for and what a lot of people sadly do.

My comments here are coloured by the response I got in a different thread yesterday on same topic. Researchers are encouraged to get on Twitter to stay updated on open science. That doesn't work at all if open scientists shame newcomers for trying to join the discussions.
-
Understandable sentiment. I'm sorry it's like this. Twitter is a tough platform.
-
Yeah Twitter is really counterproductive to (open) scientific discussions. It works for other purposes, but should really be explicitly discouraged for internal academic discussions.
-
Oh, totally. I mean look at this!https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/1150406552760782848?s=19 …

I've heard of the blocking thing (not your case; just that it happens) & find it so weird that researchers block each other on Twitter. It's one thing to choose not to engage, another to actually try to restrict colleagues' access to information.
-
Oh, blocking is fine. But if you do, why then reply to my tweets?
-
You mean t's hypocritical to block information/communication only one way?
-
I mean it's pathetic for a grown ass prof to care enough to block me and then also scan my tweets to reply to them. I guess he unblocked me because somebody sent him my tweet, replied and quote RTed it, and then re-blocked me. Coward.
