About time for me to go get blocked by some more fragile TRA Twitter accounts. Thanks for the reminder!

Godspeed, then.

One TRA acted all offended and said they were going to mute me in a reply to one of my tweets not even addressed to them. I called their bluff and replied to them anyway, saying they were an attention seeker(in not as nice terms). They couldn't resist replying again with more pearl-clutching(gee I thought you muted me), right after which they blocked me so I couldn't even see it unless logged out(or reply). I capped the thread by calling them a liar and a coward and a good example of the behavior of your average TRA.

I'm not sure why they announce this, who cares?

I've also been blocked by people I've never spoken to. It's like they're gonna faint if they are exposed to anything that contradicts their brainwashing.

Oh yes, I love quoting them as good examples of the type. They hate that. Can't do that if I've blocked or muted them, so I generally don't, as I don't want to miss out on the educational opportunities available for onlookers.

It's really never a fair fight to interact with any of them, as they all give up, harrumph and hit the mute/block like Miss Piggy pretty quickly once confronted with uncomfortable facts.

I know I don't care as long as they follow through with it, but there's a 90% chance they'll cop out like they did here. Sometimes I feel like I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel in character quality when dealing with these people.

Yeah, I don't think I've blocked anyone on social media yet. For those same reasons mainly, and I like to keep the back channels open in the unlikely event someone ever come to their senses.

That's a win in my book. A bigger win is having witnesses to this.

Only sometimes?

Agreed. Though, of course, I do not expect this from random TRAs—I find this more relevant with people I personally know.

Yup.
