Well I earned another badge of honor today....

I got suspended for 12 hours on Twitter for calling a spade a spade. Oddly enough, I in no way promoted violence against, threatened, or harassed Chelsea Handler. I was replying to an article posted by BreitbartNews about Chelsea Handler alleging that Justice Clarence Thomas is still as much a sexual predator today as much as he was in 1991. The funny thing was, the suspension notice I got didn’t take more than about 15 seconds after I posted my response. Obviously, Handler has someone monitoring her account 24/7 and complaining in real time. What a wuss.
I contacted twitter support to protest the decision, and got a message saying that it would take at least 24-48 hours for them to respond. So there’s no effective appeal for my 12 hour timeout.
This is what social media has come to......and so far, my experience had been that Twitter was much less restrictive than Facebook. I guess not.
I’ll wear it as a badge of honor, and put a big red X next to my handle.

TAM - when will you learn that free speech applies to Liberals. All others are censored, often with the violent veto.

TAM, you -- a man -- called a female Progressive darling a name, and one deriding her sexual curiosity. Such behavior is hurtful and simply won't be tolerated -- unless it is Progressives doing the name calling against anything/anyone that stands for Conservative values, of course.

If you said the same about Melania, it would have been immediately trending, not suspended.
Tragic.

Twitter is stupid anyway... bunch of stuck up celebs who think their crap smells like roses and need to go to their safe room anytime someone says anything negative about them. I had a twitter account for about 2 hours. Dumbest social media platform there is imho...
