Blocking someone here on Twitter feels awful. But I think it's necessary. If you twist what I say or misrepresent me for the fun of it or respond with hate to my views, you're blocked.

I block people who (a) are blatantly intellectually dishonest or (b) resort to mere name-calling. I don't think you lose much by it. The intersection between people who are smart and people who do these things is very small.
(To test this, I occasionally use incognito mode to look at tweets that turn up in my timeline but that I can't see because I've blocked the account. I can't remember even one being interesting.)

And this is why incognito mode should really have a different name. I bet that most uses are for checking what information is provided without knowing who I am.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
