i am saying that i did not believe you to be the banned returner awesome wells. i do not know if you are a banned returner, although other people more versed in the ways of banned returners than i seem to think you are.
This is ridiculous.

You know, its the complete lack of originality that gets me. You'd think they least they could do is come up with something fresher than 1850.
Leslie Jones fights back against racism on Twitter
Milo's behaviour is not equivalent to Twitter's response. His is far worse

Twitter has rules of use. This sexist, racist, all round bigoted, attention seeking shit cunt can cry as much as he likes. Twitter hasn't censored him, he broke the rules.

He not only broke them, he shattered them into millions of tiny racist bits.

I don't get that. What gets me is that he is a pathetic racist cunt. I think very few people would sit back and think 'if only they had some new racist jokes/material.'

But bwahahahaah he is being oppressed and censored...bwahahahahah .
The fact that people on this thread are even arguing that he is being censored by twitter makes me feel sick tbh.

Twitter's rules aren't clear to me - I clicked the 'report' button on a post couple of days ago, it was one of those saying all Kikes should be gassed. They replied to me within a couple of hours saying the post hadn't broken any of their rules & if I felt worried I should go to the police etc. They're very anti censorship , far as I can tell.
So it's OK for twitter to ban someone because they don't agree with their opinion. Their company, their rules.
But it's not OK for a small bakery to refuse to bake a gay wedding cake. Surely, their company their rules?

The difference is that selling a cake to a gay couple doesn't diminish the taste of the cake for a straight couple who also bought one. There's a lot of people (myself included) who won't go anywhere near Twitter because of the taste of their product.
You're labouring under a false assumption: milo was not banned because twitter disagreed with him. He was banned because he broke the rules due to his behaviour.

WTF?
Did this company have 'Will not bake for homosexuals' in their terms and conditions of service? Probably not given that there are laws against discrimination of that kind.
Why would you even try to argue such a ridiculous thing?

^Yep. If you walk in, drop trow, and take a shit in the middle of the floor in a cake shop, they're within their rights to ban you.

Assuming the bakers in question was Ashers in Belfast they were not refusing to serve the customer because he was homosexual. They refused because the cake was to have a logo and political slogan they disagreed with.
Indeed, which would make it pretty much analogous to the twitter situation.
Also, because of the virtual monopoly twitter has on microblogging, enforcing editorial policy on the content which can be posted is essentially censorship. The same also holds for facebook. In both cases the motivation behind the actions is an attempt to prevent people being exposed to views that the management of those companies don't agree with.

Have you read his ghostbusters review? I didn't make it past the second paragraph before I wanted to punch him.

Okay. You are arguing that the terms and conditions of Twitter of use (rules) are wrong because they should allow the targeting, harrassment and abuse of it's users because it's unfair to deny other twitter users access to said attitudes, regardless of what they are?

So because twitter and facebook are so successful they must allow objectionable opinions languages and actions as a matter of free speech.
Tell you what if you find twitter or facebook so offensive jog off and find something else. Fairly certain Louise Mench's twitter rival is just waiting in the wings.
Or if you walk in to the cake shop, see there's another patron, of a different ethnicity, and then racially abused them. The owner would be well within their rights to boot them out and ban them as patrons.

His views inform his conduct, they are the motivation for it.
