I’ve had my fair share of Twitter hate.
It comes in spurts. The worst was when I decided to crack open a cold one for Kavanaugh… and HUNDREDS of tolerant liberals wished I’d get raped. It was lovely.
I reported a handful of the more gruesome threats. Twitter determined that no one had violated their guidelines, as wishing death and rape on Conservative women is basically why Twitter was created.
A conservative making jokes about brussels sprouts? Well now. That’s impermissible.
This is legitimately the most insane Twitter suspension I have ever heard of. My business partner, @JeremyDBoreing, was just suspended for 12 hours for this tweet. Why? Because it was supposedly “promoting or encouraging self-harm.” IT’S A JOKE ABOUT BRUSSELS SPROUTS. WTF @jack pic.twitter.com/J60K5ZtxZm

Yup.
You got that right. Wishing I get raped is FINE, but this is TARGETED HARASSMENT.
Here’s likely what happened: some motivated moron decided to flag the tweet and send it to Twitter, and Twitter, doing their typical bang-up job of banning conservatives before asking why, just hit the suspend button without a second thought.

BINGO.
Way to go, Twitter.
For me, I’m just happy that Twitter stepped in to prevent what surely would have been a spate of suicide attempts from people attempting to BURN OFF THEIR OWN FACES WITH FRYING PANS.

For those who are considering suicide by hot frying pan after cooking brussels sprouts, remember — you matter. Your life matters. Call the suicide hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

Serious, serious stuff. So how is his VICTIM, you may ask:
Oh, in case @jack is watching, no, Jeremy did NOT, in fact, make me want to maim my own face with a hot frying pan. Thank you. https://t.co/xXKa392Y21
