You must have the Twitter option I tried to sign up for.

N/M I see tweets just not tweets and replies

His account is suspended, what did it say?

Making all sorts of threats

I wouldn't go that far. More like going off on an unhinged tangent about

You can’t casually gloss over his post about the bat and his glock. That was messed up.

The Dude Abides

It’s not really that messed up in context

I didn't gloss over it. That's pretty much what he said. He said if these people

Lol the storming the temple was a joke because of the Area 51 nuts.

The Dude Abides

So the "storming the temple" is just a joke? That's all? It's all good? Not the

Dude just stop.

He basically said he’d be more than happy to beat and shoot people who tried.

The Dude Abides

7/20/19 6:41pm

I'm not bothered by anything. LOL. I'm giving context to why DS was ranting.

777

7/20/19 6:44pm

I never said the threats weren't provoked.

thebruce

7/20/19 6:33pm

You didn't say much of anything. I just tried to give it context. Your post made

777

7/20/19 6:39pm

Also, you are posting some seriously insane stuff.

thebruce

7/20/19 6:35pm

Like? The tweets are deleted. Forgive me for trying to give people some context

777

7/20/19 6:41pm

Strange thing to feel you need to defend. It was messed up. I would want no part of defending that.

The Dude Abides

7/20/19 6:42pm

What am I defending again? I've said he was clearly wrong for the Glock comments

777

7/20/19 6:48pm

DS was obviously too kooky, but I understand his anger by your explanation. Thx

Agreed. You protect what you value, and temples and kids are up there pretty...

Saying it’s a wet dream to gun down people who may storm the temple is extremely overboard.

scootsy

7/21/19 12:36pm

1st - His Twitter account has been suspended. 2nd - I doubt that is "exactly"

BleedCougarBlue2

7/21/19 12:38pm

He wasn't just protecting. He was consistently threatenng murder

thebruce

He exactly said that.

Really? Suspending free speech isn’t something we should endorse.

bluebrotha

7/20/19 8:32pm

You don't have a right to free speech on Twitter.

TCuz

7/20/19 8:35pm

Currently yes and that’s wrong and it’s being looked at by our lawmakers.

bluebrotha

7/20/19 8:38pm

You have the freedom to say whatever... but you want a PRIVATE COMPANY to be forced to provide people a platform?

Et Lux in Domino

7/20/19 9:22pm

Yep. DS can publish whatever he wants but nobody is constrained to let him do it

Imagine a telephone company (a private company) eavesdropped on the things you

bluebrotha

7/20/19 10:00pm

No, dude. AT&T is a telecommunications company. They are heavily regulated. Twitter is a social MEDIA company.

7/20/19 10:19pm

It's just a ludicrous analogy... UPS is a shipping company. Ford is a car company. You're grasping for... I don't know.

Et Lux in Domino

7/20/19 10:36pm

Your first argument was Twitter is a “PRIVATE COMPANY!”. Well I shot down

bluebrotha

7/21/19 11:27am

You obviously don't get it... You think you shot that argument down? You brought up an auto manufacturer... 🙄

UR feelings hurt? Obviously my valid points are making you boil.

bluebrotha

Wanna know how I know, that you know you've lost this argument? Rather than sticking to facts, you resort to "UR feeling

And Criddle now seems to have DS in his show a a co-host frequently

Adrielle

Same. The last thing that guy needs is a bigger platform.
