Antisocial Networks

I’m always a little suspicious of stories like this.  I always wonder what the rest of the story is.  On the other hand, I can’t really say I doubt this happened exactly as stated.  That’s why I decided to post it this way.  Insert grain of salt here and then do as you feel necessary.  I hate to say it, but I think it is probably only a matter of time before the same kind of thing happens with Facebook if it hasn’t already.  It’s the world we live in.  Nevertheless I am disinclined to increase my usage of Twitter after reading this.  It is for me primarily a tool to more effectively keep my Facebook profile up to date anyway.  The extra exposure is just a bonus and is devalued by having to put up with all the spam followers.

James L. Paris’ Christian News and Politics: Banned From Twitter For Supporting Rush Limbaugh

Well, I guess I know how Rush Limbaugh feels. This week I posted a blog piece supporting Rush and I received thousands of visits to my blog. I also engaged in probably one hundred ‘debates’ with people on Twitter about the whole Rush Limbaugh/NFL controversy. Today, I received the below message that I have been suspended from Twitter for one week. Obviously, someone did not like what I was saying in support of Rush. You will notice that my blog article was ‘re-tweeted’ 150 times by those that read it (not by me). I guess I am making some liberal at Twitter upset. Let’s make them really mad, please click on the “tweeted” button above and that will bring even more attention to this issue on their own network.
