To think this is not hate speech, threat of violence so not a good reason to get a Twitter ban

Early on 30th July (0145ish) in my timeline appeared a tweet that read "I love women. Except Terfs. Terfs are c*nts.

Usually I report use of the term Terf. This time however I decided to respond. I went for:-

"Why can't misogynists spell the word cunt?"

I admit drink may have been taken, but surely that is not a threat or hate speech?

I have appealed my ban but am fully prepared to accept whatever decision the majority here come to.

Yes @Quaffy, a 7 day ban if I deleted my tweet. Now it's almost that since my appeal. Terf is hate speech imo and according to Twitter.

Nor can I @Nonnymum, but it still happened. I'm still blocked from viewing tweets because I appealed my ban. It's been 6 days.
