@analyticalposts @seanrcallaghan Threats are bad. Harassment and abuse are bad. But I’m on a campaign to get people thinking being threats, harassment, and abuse — the bar needs to be lowered to hair-trigger blocking for mild amounts of rudeness. We are conversing here and people should behave well. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s an unwarranted sense that blocking is an extreme measure that should be reserved for extreme cases. In fact it is a time-consuming public service. Every time you block someone over a small transgression, you are doing a part to make the world better. — PolitiTweet.org
