I find that I'm banned from Twitter

[a_chap]

Out of the blue a tweet of mine has been flagged as so outrageous that my account has been banned. I have to delete the tweet else, it seems, my account is toast. An account I've had for ten years. An account that has really quite a few followers. Most of whom I suspect follow me for what I do/say/done over the years. I'm a fucking British record holder for fuck's sake.

My crime? It appears that I questioned Benjamin Netanyahu's palmarès when it comes to negotiating peace deals.

No doubt I'm now on some fucking MI5/CIA database or other. The cunts.

I'm rather annoyed with Twitter.

I'd happily tell them to get fucked but there are quite a few people who follow my Twitter account because they want to know about the improbable stuff I'm up to. I don't want to let them down.

No idea what I'm going to do. No idea why I'm posting this on U75 other then I'm so damn annoyed.

Screen shot the tweet , delete it , tweet it again, or get a friendly account to tweet the screen shot

Not in your league, but I’ve had a comment I made deleted from a newspaper site because it was offensive. I called someone an odious little oik. I was trying to be polite.

Anyway, if Twitter has deemed your comment offensive you must be doing something right.

I’m intrigued to know two things. First, I had no idea you got up to improbable stuff and were renowned for so doing. I would like to know more.

Secondly, I’d like to know how you worded your tweet. I have no doubt it is innocuously worded. But I am intrigued to know what sort of tweet gets you a ban threat when so many vile accounts I’ve seen complaints made about just bounce back laughing about their slapped wrist.

. . . you got up to improbable stuff and were renowned for so doing. I would like to know more . . .

That’s so disappointing. I’d offer to retweet the tweet but I don’t want my followers going off me.

Improbable bikes. Foolhardy distances. That about sums me up.

Square-wheeled bikes ?

a_chap I've got a throwaway account if you want - You may not want to be associated with it though

I believe he's a bit of a "big noise" in the incumbent bike scene

Oh Jesus. It gets worse. (Assuming you mean recumbent).

I’ve been banned from Twitter since 2019 after calling Trump a cunt. I’ve tried to delete my account altogether but Twitter send me messages saying that I can’t do that as my account is suspended. Kafka might have something to say…

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass on that.

Not for a few years, now.



Start of a 600km ride a few years ago. Guess which one's me.

You may be my only follower on there as well. I was really hoping for my namesake to follow as well.

i broke the hundred meter record at school (for my age group) when I was 13. Did a clenched fist salute when I got my medal. The secret services have never let me forget it

I am led to believe he's moved on to stupidly heavy, old fashioned looking bikes and wearing tweed

 

[hitmouse]

I have to admit, I have no idea what palmarès are, which makes it a bit hard to judge how offensive it is to question someone's palmarès.

Sent you more likely a victim of putinbot trolls mass reporting you than mi5 ?

Was outrageous the only descriptive you got? Was it implied that the post was anti semitic?
I say this be cause the given subject matter referred to Benjamin Netanyahu

what are you going to do with all the new free time on your hands?

"outrageous" was my description, not Twitters.

Was it anti-Semitic? Definitely not. However some people will chose to describe anything that criticises Netanyahu as being anti-Semitic, of course. Likewise anything that criticises the state of Israel. My tweet was definitely critical of Netanyahu.

 

[a_chap]

I'm sure I'll find other ways to waste time.

 

[Supine]

Just delete the tweet and move on. I didn’t like removing the word cunt from a post about Reese Mog but I did it anyway.

 

[brogdale]

My only slapped wrist from twitter was when I posted a picture (no other details) of my parent's Tory MP's £multi-million "farmhouse".
Said if I didn't delete I was a gonna.
Deleted to fight another day.
Right/wrong?
Dunno.
