On this note, if I say something like "Mute _____ if you don't want to see this thread." or talk about how I am threading about D&D or Muppets to shake loose the new followers who don't want that content and you reply "Joke's on you, that's why I'm here," I 100% despise you.

A tweet isn't about you if it isn't about you. I cannot stand people who take a tweet that is not in any way speaking to or about them and reply in a way that simultaneously acknowledges that a statement has targeting parameters that exclude them, while making it about themselves
"Mute if you don't want to read it."
"But what if I DO want to read it?"
Then you read it, Blichael. You read the thread if you want to read it. You and twenty-three of your most asinine friends really had to jump in and seek clarification on that point?

I know this one is innocuous as far as medium-big Twitter account pet peeves go, but it hits all my buttons. It feels like learned helplessness. It feels like that thing where you cannot qualify a tweet with enough specificity to not have someone come along and demand more.
