What sort of thing causes a person to be permanent banned from Twitter

[AdHominemNonSequitur]

This is the sort of hateful transphobic language people get permanently banned from Twitter for.

As she also points out, they ban people for stating reality because reality is the problem!

Is this why our new guests want to continue the discussion on twitter?

Stating that a particular individual with testicles was a man, in my friend's case (she's not Meghan Murphy).

With that and the article in the spectator Debbie wins the internet today.

"They ban people for stating reality, because reality is the problem."

I want that on a t shirt.

No doubt Debbie will get another load of hate. Surprised Debbie hasn't been banned, even twitter might not have the brass neck to do that.

I think she gets more than her fair share already. I get the sense that she is fighting because she has strongly held secular and rational principles.
I guess my post might make it worse though.

They banned Miranda Yardley, didn't they?
Twitter may realise that banning Hayton would be a massive own goal given the fact DH regularly writes in the mainstream media and could probably get broadcast media coverage.

Yes. Of course. But pointing that out lead to accusations of bad faith and picking on a lone voice

The Twitter usuals since last night are pulling out all the stops to get as many of us banned from Twitter and MN as possible.
That's why I hope today's deletions don't count as strikes because MN are being played like a fiddle.

I suspect Debbie is close to getting banned which would be a huge shame as she talks a lot of sense. And states biological reality which clearly is toutally unacceptable when there are myths to peddle and lies to perpetuate.

@FondOfBeetles and @SwipeWright are still keeping it real though. I wonder if they are protected by their Developmental Biology professorships?

I got a deletion today for commenting on the general standard of SPaG from our incoming guests not sure what rule I broke. Would it be different if these threads were on AIBU?

Not being sufficiently welcoming to people MNHQ somehow invited over from Twitter, I suppose. Slightly odd concept, but by accident or design it seems the net result is that the incoming guests act as devils advocates for MN lurkers, and don't have quite the effect they might be hoping for.

I have to think they did not send their A team.

But kettl, given what they cab believe, this could be as good as they get!

My friend was banned for saying: men don't menstruate. Was the latest in a line of "hateful" conduct. So. There you go!

Putting the "men" in menstruate

I've been suspended twice.

Once for saying transwomen are as likely to be violent as other men are (ie not that TW are violent, but that there was no reason to distinguish them from other male people re violent behaviour).

Second time for saying generally that men didn't have the right to say what a woman was. Unfortunately it turned out the person in the tweet before me must have been a TW and decided it was aimed at them.

It's very hard to take a (proper) feminist position on gender and not get suspended.

Yep I have been recently banned from twitter for saying males are male from conception.

Siân Lacey Taylder (hope I've spelt her surname properly!) got banned from twitter for supporting women's rights. So far, so normal for a day ending in -y, yes?

Except, Siân was a transwoman who'd transitioned back before some of the anime avatars hadn't even been born.

What is the advantage of actually doing Twitter? I occasionally look, but feel no interest in joining, posting or engaging on Twitter. It just looks like a tedious time sink.

Robert Winston said something along those lines while speaking in the House of Lords.

Well, you can respond to people with mocking gifs.

Also, the dopamine rush and sense of achievement when you tick over from 39 followers to 40.

Just guessing but if their spelling had nothing to do with the post in general and was just a dig at them because they had a different opinion that'll be why
(fully aware this is probably a rhetorical question)

Pothole Paradies

Me: "Take that, Mr Matthews. You said I'd never amount to anything, and now I have fourty followers!"

Mr Matthews: "that's sweet. I have 26,000 because of my winning combination of sarcasm, pictures of my falabella horse, and my political commentary. Also, it's spelt "forty", dear."

Eric Joyce has got 22K followers on twitter. Nice place.
