I'm done entertaining anonymous Twitter users & their disingenuous, bigoted attempts at conversation.

Do they not realize we mute or block them? Or, when things get wild, turn on the quality filter?

They spend all this time trolling us, and we just *CLICK* and they disappear!
In the past, I've tried to always give people a chance, to listen and be open-minded. This has bitten me in the ass many times, but I'd rather be naive than bitter and shut-down.

But these guys just want to see how far they can push you until you snap. They get power from that.
And I'm just not interested in being the object of their perverted, pathetic desire to feel validated by making other people mad.

Pathetic little weirdos.

A note from all editors to all writers:

1. Read your work out loud before you send it to us. Do you sound like a robot? An academic giving a presentation to fellow academics? Fix it.

2. Look for typos. PLEASE look for typos. Do not rely on your spellchecker to alert you.
3. Unless you are a seasoned writer (writing paid work for years), have a friend or family member read your work before you send it in. They will catch the goofy errors that make you look incompetent that you may have missed.

4. Send only your best work.
I will not accept pitches again from people whose work took me hours and hours to spellcheck and edit for clarity.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but it doesn't make financial sake. If we are paying you (even if it's not a ton) I can't afford to pay myself to also do your job.

So I hate to join MRA talking points but this person is not wrong.

Teaching our little girls to say trashy things about boys is not the road to equality.

Here's why:
1. She may someday really want a boyfriend and feel shamed for her desire - instead of guided by her family in how to have a healthy relationship. We don't need more shame, we need less!

2. No human is a waste of time. Saying this to your brother is "cute" but also cruel.
3. You are the parents of all your kids, regardless of gender. Your job is to build their self-confidence, pride in who they are, and teach them respect and compassion for others.

Teaching one to disrespect the other does the opposite of this on all points.

Anti-Semitic attack are on the rise.

Parents of non-Jewish kids, what have you told your kids about anti-Semitism? It's time to talk regularly about what Jewish people have gone through historically, why they're often a target, and review words & phrases that are inappropriate.
Tell them why "positive stereotypes" are dangerous and how these stereotypes were used to make Jews a target by Nazis.

White supremacists are doing what Nazis did back then - blaming Jews for the economic problems of others.

Talk to your kids before white supremacists do!
People were suffering after WWI and Hitler knew the suffering was a good way to get people to hate Jewish people. It worked.

Of course, German suffering wasn't Jews' fault! They were suffering, too.

But ppl believed it. They wanted a scapegoat.

Today, the alt-right is...

A running thread of things that @Twitter could do to unlock value for users. Will add to overtime. Please feel free to retweet and reply with your own, most of these below I have just taken and summarized from others. In no particular order. 1/♾ #JustKidding 🤔 or am I?
@Twitter I drafted a tweet on my phone but of course, can't access "draft's" on the desktop. So lets maybe start there. The desktop and @Tweetdeck version should be MORE robust than the mobile app not less. Tweetdeck, for example, has no bookmarks, emoji's, live video, polls, gif's, etc
@Twitter @TweetDeck There are SO MANY great meaningful quotes, threads, replies, and conversations that vanish into the Twitter ether, drowned out by hot takes, snark, and 280 character riffs on what some influencer or politician just did. Find a way to collect and resurface this treasure trove.

Twitter seems to be banning or suspending accounts belonging to critics of the Chinese government. It started yesterday May 31th. Here is one report - I noticed a sudden loss of followers yesterday, I checked, it was mainly China critics. Twitter❤️🇨🇳 Amazing! @mouse @1GigiSims
This is happening as an effort to silence #China critics ahead of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, which is next Tuesday. Twitter is helping China do its dirty work to silence the legitimate opposition. Twitter has hit a new all time low! 👎👎👎
One other possibility that can't be discounted is that the #Chinese government is hacking into Twitter and is deleting the accounts of Chinese critics. I did hear reports in the past, that Chinese hackers were able to get into Twitter & do that.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

(1) Wut?

Twitter censorship is "HERE TO STAY?" [emphasis mine]

The EFF?

What would happen to @jack-azz if he walked down a street & STOPPED people from conversing with each other?

Would he not get arrested?

Violations of First Amendment, much?

dailycaller.com/2018/07/29/twi…
(2) Violations of the 1st Amendment Rights of people of their speeches are a crimes, yes?

Violations of the 1st Amendment Rights of people of free assembly are a crimes, yes?

A telephone company that interferes with phone calls based on political content commits crimes, right?
So, HOW IN THE HELL is it different when Twitter commits THOSE SAME CRIMES?

What sort of "legal angle" is anyone looking for?

@Jack, and #Twitter's #deranged #liberal employees, have COMMITTED CRIMINAL ACTS in numerous violations of the Rights of Twitter users.
