And here are the Twitter rules to which I was directed to explain what the daily limit is now.
So after five months and +20 unanswered appeals, the Twitter Ministry of Truth has handed down its final ruling on my case. I am, indeed, banned from Twitter completely and forever, and will be permitted no further appeals.
Did I incite a bloody insurrection against the United States government?
Nope.
Did I threaten anyone or wish them physical harm in any way?
Of course not.
I am told by the Twitter Ministry of Truth that I have been evicted from Twitter and told never to return for responding to this, which was directed at me...
It seems painfully obvious that Twitter has seen fit banned me for life for some other reason, which almost certainly involves repeatedly making any number of Blue Check Conservatives look stupid in public. Because while my remarks to "ah_notty" might have been little spicy, they are nothing compared to what you can see flying back and forth on Twitter all day, every day, with no scoldings or groundings or exiles from @Jack. Stuff like this --
Did you work hard to be this much of a moron, or are you the product of a combination of enthusiastic inbreeding and a mother who spent her pregnancy huffing paint thinner while servicing her other clients in a truckstop bathroom? https://t.co/sVUubocn9m

-- which wasn't even worth a 12-hour-bit-in-Twitter-minimum-security-jail.
And after 11 years on Twitter, accumulating over 10K followers and finding myself being regularly retweeted by some social media powerhouses as well as you wonderful folks, somebody or somebodies clearly got tired of me running my mouth and making them look stupid in public, so they solved the problem by eliminated me from Twitter.
I am cancel culture.
Ah well, too late for regrets now. I'll still be on Blogger, writing every day until they kick me off of here too, and there are several kind souls (and at least one disreputable Twitter outcast now traveling under an assumed name) who regularly posts my writing to Twitter, so many thanks for that and for all the follows and follies over the years.
So I'm not in Twitter jail this time.
This time I'm kicked out completely and forever. Just like Donald Trump!

A little spicy, sure, but nothing compared to what you can see flying back and forth on Twitter all day, every day, with no scoldings or groundings or exiles from @Jack.
Hey, maybe I should have responded like so!

Because this is obviously not a permanent account suspension offence. Hell, it's not even worth a 12-hour-bit-in-Twitter-minimum-security-jail.
And just for kicks, some of you may remember that I did a week in Twitter jail a few years ago for using a famous quote from Pulp Fiction -- "Send in the Gimp" -- to describe Senator Lindsey Graham's relationship with Donald Trump. If you'd like to see an excellent example of what "selective enforcement" means, click on this Twitter search link to get a feel for how many other people have done/are doing exactly the same thing and are not being chucked into Twitmo.
And those of you with long memories ma recall that I did my first week in the digital gray-bar hotel for calling to a specific celebrity, Bill Maher, as a "whore". But boy was it worth it! Because thanks to Twitter making an example of me, Bill Maher is now very nearly 100% safe from anyone referring to him or to anyone else by that word on that website.
Ah well, too late for regrets now.
I filed an appeal, which I expect to fail, so so-long on Twitter, kids, and thanks for all the follows and follies over the years.
The fifth time I was sent the cooler because advised a Twitter troll that if they chose to die stupid, it was no skin off my nose. Hard to figure this as a jailing offense when such august Conservative Blue Check media personages as Rick Wilson run their mouths like this on Twitter pretty much every damn day:You can take a seat whenever ya want or I can do this all night— shooters shoot (@neverontimephil) May 31, 2020

At least it's an honest answer. Good to see clear lines drawn. MT @mommadona: #Murrieta area was always a #WhiteTrash cul-de-sac #racist

House Democrats seem not to understand that Republicans feel about Adam Schiff the way they feel about Donald Trump, i.e. that he is such a disreputable character that anything he says is automatically tainted.— Brit Hume (@brithume) January 27, 2020
