   @edwardchampion Nobody's prohibiting being rude, but they are witnessing rudeness.

   Important to know the difference, from a legal perspective.

     I deleted my BlueSky account. Ken White joined in with Denise Paolucci to harass me. This was a coordinated attempt by tech influencers to silence me over a jokey post, to deliberately distort what I said with phony dog whistle language, and impugn me. But hey now I have a blocklist that I can use for a block party here!

     Just ridiculous needless drama. The full post is below for the record.

     The whole point that I was trying to communicate -- jokingly -- was that a prohibition on mimicking language means no satire. White, as a First Amendment guy, knows this. But he resorted to ad hominem, of course. And he succumbed to that evil criminal defense part of him.

     I'm still unclear what I did to deserve this, but I tender my apology to Paolucci for the misunderstanding. This was simply a jokey post.
