I guess you like rap music...?

knish55 mainaining his usual standards of discourse and honesty

i take your point. but those on the cite im in contention with are most ly a minority of pushy thought-bullies. the administrator of the site is smart and good, he can't help it when poeple use basicly reasonable rules for bad ends. there are some very smart and mostly quiet people here and sometimes their conversations are a joy to read, the flower of reason that is possible. like everything, its complicated. ....... also, if you go to my profile page and listen to the music ive posted there, youll see the reason behind the other reasons. maybe it will be a "blessing" for you. all the best. ................

@holdenc98 Not really sure what any of that means. I'm no longer even sure what site you're talking about that you got banned from, but I don't know that it matters to my point. If ANY site would ban me or even temporarily suspend me, like Twitter did recently, on principal, I am no longer willing to support that site with the free money I bring them with my participation, however small an amount it may be.

I completely understand the limits of free speech and the reasons why they are necessary. What I had said on Twitter in no way violated their terms of service, in my opinion, nor the normal restrictions to free speech as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, thus, I had no reason to apologize or voluntarily delete my own tweet response. Twitter has decided that I am no longer allowed to be on their site unless I delete my tweet, and I refuse, so it appears I will never again use Twitter. It may even be a blessing in disguise. To be honest, probably no one should use Twitter or Facebook ever again. It does nothing but breed discontent, division, and misinformation. The only reason it probably doesn't matter is that we'll probably all die off in one of several other ways before that division could cause as much harm.

@JeffMurray .... were not in disagreement about twitter either. when it first appeared on the
sceen, its 140 character limit struck me as an anti - intellectual joke. " Now that the limit is 280 characters, the most common length of a tweet is only 33 characters. Historically, only 9% of tweets hit Twitter's 140-character limit, now it's 1% " . its getting worse, and it breeds image-hound idiots who strum guitars like dylan and twist simple lies to bad ends. it produced the sucess of trump. ...take er easy.
