So, if I want to tweet wildly outside my area of expertise I should tweet from a fake account? I see you are modeling this well! 😌Also glad you believe screencapping people lacks dignity--please convey this to Sachi & co, who began this dispute by screencapping us repeatedly. ✨

I mean, yeah, I could. And I would. But they're not the ones harassing us online right now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ When they do, the same will happen to them. I'm equal opportunity in my burn delivery service.

According to Bad Kitty, exposing people & their tweets with screencapping lacks dignity. 🤔 Perhaps someone should have spread the word back in... February?

This could have been avoided in March, too!! あらあら

I am sure our online harassers have far too much dignity to screenshot anyone! That would just be so terrible... no decency at all. Even in April? Only people with no morals do that, surely! 😩

Seriously though, if you started screencapping people to harass them and they responded by... doing the same back to you, you do not have any grounds for being indignant, friends. Fair is fair, and Twitter is public.

You cannot "expose" something that is already public, y'all.
