I do my best not to block ppl on Twitter but I'm now blocking @doctortro. I know it'll cause some to call me cowardly or whatever but it's none of that. It's also not some emotional tantrum but rather the result of cool-headed contemplation. Here's a #WhyIBlock thread (1/13)
In almost 6y in Twitter, I've only ever had to block two accounts and one was temporary. I get the appeal and of course everyone does what's best for them. I just like to hold myself a high bar. I find blocking "too easy" when even strong disagreements could be explored (2/13)
I especially don't think knee-jerk blocks are for me. I've often had the temptation but after some cool-down I've decided not to. I do mute some accounts occasionally if they constantly cause my notifications to go crazy.
That's why I now want to explain this decision (3/13)
