Now I remember why I don't like using Twitter. Inadequate asshole filters.

I mean, when you block some teabagging piece of shit, his tweets still show up in any searches you make. Do searches on hashtags like #OWS, #OccupyOakland, #OccupyDenver, you see the place infested with trolls, and there's no way to cull them.

And said teabagging asshole still gets to read your tweets, retweet them, troll them to your heart's content.

Whatever happened to a plonking system where you can make net.assholes completely disappear, and even keep them from reading your posts?

2. Yeah, but it seems so many people in the Occupy movement keep in touch thru Twitter.
and I run out of patience with the net.assholes that have infested the place.

7. I think that is some of the beauty of the Occupy Movement...
Even with complete transparency (on our part) they can't stop us. We broadcast to the world our plans, and still they are befuddled. We give them our playsheet, and they still fall in the traps of their own making.

3. We need a new domain name of ".ASS" so all of the assholes on
the net have their own space.

9. Some of the replies on 'Yahoo Answers' and 'You Tube' are bizarre, stupid and
hostile. Sometimes I wonder if the Internet has brought that out in people or if it was already there...
