I've Been Permanently Banned From Twitter for Telling the Truth
PJ Media ^ | 22 Mar 2022 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 03/23/2022 6:39:45 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Well, it finally happened.

I figured it was inevitable that Twitter would find a reason to suspend me from their platform permanently, and now they finally have.

What happened? Well, I was replying to a tweet by a social worker who made a rather ridiculous assumption regarding the Lia Thomas issue.

“No matter your opinion on Lia Thomas, I urge you to discuss the topic as if a transgender person were in the room,” he said. “Because one probably is.”

“We can agree or disagree with the NCAA without insulting our transgender friends, classmates, and neighbors.”

Levine could just as easily self identified as a tall black woman that plays in the WNBA. Doesn’t mean Levine could make a free throw basket, and I don’t have to watch and applaud.

Why is it important to people to be twitter users?

It is now OBVIOUS that sexual immorality/any perversion of any kind being accepted, advocated, defended, demanded is the TOTAL agenda of the Democrat Party and, unfortunately, many Republicans. NOTHING else matters to them. All of this portends the eventual downfall of this nation.

So, if I identify as an extreme leftist Democrat with all of the perverted philosophy therewith, will I be accepted as a Democrat even if I am still a Conservative? I am serious here. Can I speak in a public forum and claim to be the former when I am actually the latter and my background shows it and get away with it? Do I have to cut my testicles off? Hello? Need an answer.

Probly can appeal it.

Makes as much sense as appealing to an abusive husband to "Please take me back - I won't give you any more 'lip,' I promise!"

You’re absolutely right. Don’t give in and don’t apologize for telling the truth.

But perhaps you can explain to my why you want to be on Twitter and/or Facebook in the first place. After all, you’re on Free Republic.

While I advocate standing firm and not bowing to the Stalinist "speech regulations" imposed by Facebook, Twitter, etc. on their users - I do concede that these social media are attempting to ghettoize us, by denying us bandwidth and depriving us of the opportunity / means to "reach" other people and disseminate our ideas.

But the bottom line is: If I am not allowed to speak the truth, then I have no reason to patronize your medium.

My father in law is a cnn watching biden supporter or I should say Trump hating. When I go over my wife makes sure we don’t discuss politics. He isn’t saying to much these days. Last time was something about Russia would have attacked ukraine even if Trump was in office. I laughed. Told him day one he shut our pipeline down and approved russias pipeline. And we at the time were buying 70 million a day in oil from Russia. He didn’t even know we were buying oil from them until ukraine leader called biden out for it. Some of these biden supporters don’t work anymore. As long as there check goes into there account they are fine. They go to the grocery store once a week and sit home. Now they are starting to see what’s going on. Whatever is on face book, morning and evening news and leave it on cnn all day. That’s where they get there truth.

I quit using them when it suspended people for being pro Trump and anti biden. People I knew was posting funny memes and were getting banned. This was way before election. That and the ads were the exact things I was talking to my wife about possibly getting. Was thinking about getting a new smoker, didnt search for one yet was just talking to her about it and opened face book and there was ads for smokers. Lol. Did the same thing on some other things. Creepy.

“ I banned Twitter & FB from all my devices.”

Here, here. That’s the only thing to do, starve the beast, kill it with fire.

But you suggested that someone "appeal" their suspension - that implies that you think it "worthwhile" to be on Twitter (even if it requires a measure of self-censorship).

The dumbest people in my professional circles are the ones who use the term “social media” the most. Just sayin’ …

Wasn't it Hayek who said that putting the adjective social in front of anything destroys its meaning? Social justice (?!), social network, social media....

Conservatives need to get off the Twitter platform.

I used to argue the opposite, that we need to fight the opposition on their own turf. But Twitter is not about free speech at all and they are very Orwellian about what they allow to be posted. If they can ban us from the platform for speaking the truth, then it's not worth the fight.

Fortunately TRUTH SOCIAL is becoming a viable alternative. It's still in beta but what I've seen so far looks great. They will also top 700,000 active users today so those still stuck on waiting lists should be added soon. Also, a web and Android version are on the way we are told.

It's not just an echo chamber either as anybody can join and say whatever they want. Twitter on the other hand is becoming nothing but an echo chamber for lunatics. Time to leave them to their folly.

Lol. Ok. Was assuming the poster may want back on. Honestly twitter seemed different to use than face book and wasn’t worth my time to figure it out. I quit face book before the election. It got too political. I used it to chat or see what people I know were up to.

Sure - And I was assuming that that battered and bruised lady who came to the Women's Shelter last night might want to get back together with "hubbie" - you know: The guy who gave her that thrashing because there weren't enough raisins in his rice pudding that evening. So I told her to go back and try "making nice." And that as long as she "kept her lip zipped," everything would be all right.

Sorry: Not much in the mood for levity today! You probably didn't really mean it that way. Forget what I wrote!
