Internet gods forgive me my typos...

The name-calling is probably what gave them the excuse to report those tweets. Leaving that out will probably let you make more of those same points without giving someone an excuse that Twitter might listen to.

Sure but she can say 'qu*&r'.

That was kind of the point. To insult her, ban be damned. It isn't a threat or hate speech to say someone isn't smart, is it?

I got into it with a transwoman recently too (and although this person called me a "c&*t") they were livid at being called babe or sweetie (which YES is done sarcastically) There is no place you can blow off steam anymore. The internet doesn't HAVE to be 'nice'!

Activists give JK Rowling death treats but me calling someone an 'idiot' for using a slur is a capital offense!

I don't personally care if you point out how they are acting, I am just noting that the reportable "offenses" that must be dodged to avoid the Twitter thought police are at least sometimes predictable.

Plenty of GC people choose not to avoid the easier-to-avoid "infractions" and either deal with it if reported (acquiesce or don't), or they simply do not comply at all and make new Twitter accounts (this is a running joke for a few of the most unrepentant at this point; I don't want the hassle of doing that so I just dodge the obvious reportable things that are low-hanging fruit for TRAs to use).

Your first mistake was arguing with someone over the internet.

Needing to blow off steam and insomnia do contribute I admit.
