There is a brilliant thread here from someone, about getting harassed on Twitter and why they use what I term as a firebreak twitter block.
Where they block people who may not have directly done anything to them, but come across as being a bit to zealous in there support...o

Of the person at the centre of the block.
I've done it before, and it resulted in a while bunch of accounts taking to twitter to openly name me and discuss why would he block us we are so nice.

Extreme. No one needs to know that you've been blocked by any account, because no one other than you and the account that blocked you knows.
But Twitter has slowly turned into a pity party, where so many take the smallest slight and use it to drum up sympathy for something

That in real life wouldn't be worth a shrug of the shoulders.
I witnessed a pile on about a blocking not that long ago, and while the initial question about being blocked may have been innocent the tweet quickly descended into other accounts slagging off the person

Who did the blocking. It became rather nasty and personal with a lot of accounts acting like utter shits.
I'm saying this all because I'm about to do the firebreak thing again.
There's an account on here that unfriended me a while back,and has since spent a lot

Of their time posting vague tweets clearly aimed at me. Taken in isolation they are pretty innocuous but taken together they are begining to wind Jimmy up, and that's not a good thing.
Looking at the tweets it's the same people liking and commenting on them

And while they haven't done anything to me persay, I know how the person at the centre of this works they live a good Twitter DM chain. They love to get into DMs just to stir people up with tales of how this person did this or that, and they live to get villagers riled up
With torches and pitchforks.
Hell I've been one of those villagers before.
So peopke if you find I've blocked you over the next we while it's not really about you,it's about creating what I perceive as a safe zone in here for my mental health

If you think it's been unfair and the chances are that it is and you're just collateral damage drop me an email. Not a DM as my DMs are closed, they have been for months but that wasn't good enough for the person here they assumed they had a special season pass and thought
The DM ban didn't apply to them if they really wanted to chat they had my email and holy shit my mobile number.
Don't be that guy folks.
Social media strips so much nuance from interactions people misconstrue things all the time, but please stop taking things public

When it really doesn't need to be. We don't all have to get along, but we don't have to air our dirty knickers in public all the time either.
