I was suspended for a week on @pudgenet because of this reply.
Note that not only is this reply not remotely “abuse” or “harassment,” but I was replying directly to a guy who was engaged in explicit harassment of a woman who did nothing but disagree with him.

His original post was actual abuse and harassment. He deleted it with a weak apology. But me criticizing him? Week suspension.

The last time I was suspended was for an actual autocorrect error, in which I called white supremacists “whore supremacists.” This time it’s for sarcasm, pointing out that the speaker was engaged in harassment. But the actual harasser apparently wasn’t suspended, and I was.
The harasser account was briefly gone … maybe he was suspended, too? Still, it is not like he was bad, and I was bad. I was being sarcastic, and he was being serious. Twitter is so dumb.
Now @miklmcculloch — the guy who stalked a woman for disagreeing with him, posting her LinkedIn account and work information — has blocked me. Sadpanda.
I was suspended a couple of times before this, and the “supremacist” typo: I offered that people should take my own career advice, and switch from journalism to software development. I got suspended for merely saying people should considering doing what I did.
So @miklmcculloch has apologized to me directly for what he did in doxxing the woman, and said he wants to do better. I accept his apology. Hopefully we can all do better.
