On "Spam-Blocking"

Twitter doesn't allow sending lots of links in a single tweet, so I've compiled them here.

New #TGDN Rule: No more spam-blocking of anyone for any reason, even spammers. Only regular blocking until further notice.

#TGDN I'm tired of silly arguments. It is #TGDN policy going forward that we do not spam-block, ever. Regular block, yes. Spam-block, no.

.@AngryGOP4Paul Well, before just now, it was #TGDN policy that spam-blocks were ok against #TwitterGulag spammers only.l

.@drawandstrike I saw nothing wrong with calling down spam-blocks on actual #TwitterGulag spammers. However, changing my mind.

.@drawandstrike If people are going to lie and say #TGDN is spam-blocking innocent people, then I'm just going to nip that right in the bud.

Update: #TGDN rule change. Previously it was ok to spam-block #TwitterGulag spammers. Going forward, no #TGDN spam-blocking ever. At all.

Yep. No more #TGDN spam-blocking of any type. RT @ctcr201: Even for those that DO spam?? Like, those literally passing links? How come?

#TGDN If you want to block somebody, have at it. But no more spam-blocking at all, whether it's legitimate or not.

#TGDN Folks, this crap about us spam-blocking innocent people is Alinksy Rule #4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
