TWEETGATE

TWEETGATE TwitterBock Have the honour of being blocked from re-tweeting some dude I don't even know: >> @Adam1Baum >> Rather puzzling & disconcerting. Disconcerted enough to try to find tweets related to this person. All I could find it this: RT>> Breaking News:#NATO has just leaked a high-resolution satellite image Russian military convoy invading #Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/VdHhsFGtGt This is from 3 Sept. On closer inspection, I’m guessing I may have offended the guy be re-tweeting a tweet of his in this 'bundled' manner, rather than directly re-tweeting (which I should have done). I’ve no idea why I’ve manually re-tweeted (non-translated) content that could have simply been directly re-tweeted.  Rather embarrassed I've done something that silly. It says ‘RT” and the link’s there to this guy’s post, so it’s not like I intended to claim this as my own content. But it would have made more sense to have sent it along via the re-tweet function, than to have manually re-tweeted! Looks like I suffered a bit of a brain malfunction on the day.  LOL.  It took me forever to figure out who had actually blocked me and then the why. Firstly, I couldn’t work out if it was the re-tweeter to me or originator of some tweet.  Secondly, there was a lag of scratching my head wondering what vile offence I may have committed, before embarking on a search for a likely ‘offending’ communication.  Wasn't hard finding this; it's the only possible link.  So this must be the bad boy! Now that I know, it’s something of a relief, as it's truly disconcerting to find yourself ‘blocked’ by a Twitter user you cannot recall engaging in any way (or upsetting in any way). Must've been manically churning information, possessed. No offence was intended.  No appropriation was intended. Lost heaps of weight undergoing my current online 'possession'.  Too focused to eat.  Perfect for weight-loss... but not so good for anything practical that ought be done. It’s rather bizarre to be on someone’s ‘blocked’ list over something so insignificant and just dumb on my part.  If I’d been messaging this guy and upsetting him, I could understand finding myself blocked – but blocked from re-tweeting because I did something dumb as an over-enthusiastic tweeter?  The funny thing is, I initially thought it was some dude from the Russian embassy blocking me!  Lucky I checked it out, because they'd have thought I was a crazy lady had I launched into some tirade about being censored.  LOL The lame thing about being 'blocked' is that I'm only blocked from re-tweeting 'legitimately' via the re-tweet function.  But I could still re-tweet in the 'bundled' manner (not planning on it; just saying), so the whole thing's a bit pointless. I've un-followed a couple of accounts today, which is something I don't like to do. Feels bad.  Hence my follow-reluctance.  But if I'm not into the content, there's no point cluttering up the stream of information.  Anyway, that's my experience being Twitter-blocked -- or is that tweet-blocked?

'Whatever' is a good title

               

'Whatever' is a good title Discovered that my attitude to things is conflicted.  Hard to explain.  Kind of like thinking -- in abstract terms -- maybe you're bent, but discovering in concrete terms you're maybe rather straight. Unpleasant feelings of dissonance. Reluctance to examine why. Wondering if I am capable of believing in anything at all.  To be honest, I don't think I have any particularly deep or abiding beliefs.  Perhaps I have just have tendencies that I rarely examine. The devotion to beliefs and the culture of causes tends to irritate me, because I see either ignorance or self interest in the pursuit of one or the other. Attitudes, ideas, thoughts or beliefs that reside in me are contradictory and unorthodox. No point struggling against that.   An easy feeling comes over me when I accept that I am what I am and conclude that it's enough.
