@gmail I'm not circling back. You know why, @Google and @Gmail? Because you decided that the fact that I didn't own a cell phone was grounds for locking me out of my own Gmail account for the rest of my life.

I had the right password and access to my contact email, but you didn't care. @gmail @Google I've used my Gmail account for years, using the same computer at the same location, one not open to the general public, but now you're telling me that you don't have enough information to know that I'm me, so you're going to deny me access to my own account "for my own good."

@AllanOlley @steve_shives Don't give up hope. The United States isn't the whole world.

Here's a way of looking at this sort of thing, maybe it will help ... @AllanOlley @steve_shives We are encouraged to think that History comes with golden ages, during which much is accomplished and life is glorious, and dark ages when nothing much gets done and life is wretched.

This view is greatly oversimplified.

@jack No thanks to you, @jack. Remember me? Probably not, but I'm one of the Jewish users your team silenced in order to appease the neo-Nazis on Twitter, during the Alt-Right craze of 2016-2018. They'd dogpile me, and I'd get locked out. @jack In the end, your team made the lockout indefinite on the flimsiest of pretexts. One of the bigots, having baited me, had the nerve to ask me if we couldn't be friends. I told her no and explained an expression to her, sort of a Jewish version of the well known "you're dead to me"

@d_lennertz @matthewdmarsden @hodgetwins I remain furious, in a cold, detached sort of way. I am disgusted, however I am in no way shocked.

The "American people" have, for as long as even my grandparents could remember, been as much in love with groupthink as have been those from any society on Earth. @d_lennertz @matthewdmarsden @hodgetwins You can try to reason with them, but they'll just go back to reciting the talking points they memorized, in order to go on winning the acceptance of their "friends."

@readingquietly2 I'm back, after a 12 hour lockout that started on August 22, 2018 at 7:49 am and ran until May 7, 2023 at 9:37 am.

No, you did not misread that. @readingquietly2 A twelve hour lockout, imposed by an anonymous employee over an imaginary violation of the rules, was used to keep me locked out of my own account for over four years.

@amasad @elonmusk Of course there is, and if Musk genuinely cared about his users as individuals, he'd do it. If the only issue is freeing up handles, then he could do as Tumblr has been doing for years, and append something behind the handle of the inactive account. @amasad @elonmusk He could have twitter.com/(handle) become twitter.com/(handle)_inact…(some number). Let's say twitter.com/xyz becomes inactive.

@eddiedavidson @yelped @4Mischief @CeeTee72 OK, Eddie, now it's time to really blow your mind. I'm going to explain to you why you're wrong, absurdly wrong, in plain English, without using even a single fancy word.

Yes, this can be done. @eddiedavidson @yelped @4Mischief @CeeTee72 Let's say that you had a room full of hostages, with two members of ISIS in it, and the terrorists decided that the time had come for a bloodbath. The per capita homicide rate in that room would be very, very high.

Nearly 100%.

@eddiedavidson @yelped @4Mischief @CeeTee72 You do love your ten dollar words, Eddie, don't you? Well let's bring in one from Statistics, that unlike your reference to the brain's limbic system, has something to do with the subject at hand.

Stratification. @eddiedavidson @yelped @4Mischief @CeeTee72 You've failed to properly stratify the population you're looking at, and indeed shown no signs of understanding why that would be an issue, or even what the issue is.

@eddiedavidson @yelped @4Mischief @CeeTee72 LOL. If you can't wow them with substance, you're going to baffle them with b u l l s h i t, aren't you?

I'd expect no less from a "scientific" r a c i s t. @eddiedavidson @yelped @4Mischief @CeeTee72 Just look at this pseudo-intellectual slop.

"Do you believe scale is nothing? Scale exacts consideration from every species on the planet. Sapiens often allow limbic volumes to interfere with analysis, especially in ideological entanglements like race."

@readingquietly2 @SJGreenHart @jsgestalt Why does this matter? Because after one of Ms. Green-Hart's friends bragged about her decision to false flag one of my tweets at 6:54 pm on 20 Aug 2018

at 7:49 am on 22 Aug 2018, I was given a "12 hour lockout." @readingquietly2 @SJGreenHart @jsgestalt Citing this tweet

the conveniently anonymous admin cited this clearly inapplicable rule:

@SJGreenHart @jsgestalt The last word is yours. This is where I stop letting you waste my time. @SJGreenHart @jsgestalt There is a very Sephardic expression that my grandmother used to use, but not on just anybody. It translates as "you are dead in my eyes."

Do you know what that means?
