Site_rly_sux regularly makes ad hominem attacks rather than addressing the actual post. I've tried engaging them before and it's clear they're not arguing in good faith.

I already addressed the content of the post. I read it all and this was my conclusion. If you check again, you may notice that I'm the only person here who HAS actually commented on the content of the post.

The smoking gun here, is that both teams had a backchannel to report offending tweets for policy review..

So both Trump's and Biden's people had an extended version of the "report tweet" button that everyone gets

Would you like to talk with me about the content of the post, u/Drewski? What about the post shall we talk about - I have read it, and there's my summary, happy to talk about it in detail with you. But you're not happy to join me in engaging on the content - nobody here is, because it would mean acknowledging that they're wrong. So instead of calling me out about some petty behaviour that I've exhibited the exact opposite of in this thread, why don't you read the Taibi thread and tell me where I'm wrong?

I called you out for your poor mannered comments towards HiddenFox, which is consistent with many of your other posts here on Saidit.

Well, no, because first of all, these files contain basically nothing of relevance, and absolutely nothing here is damaging to Twitter or Biden more than to trump and the republicans.

If that's your takeaway, fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. To me it seems that Twitter was engaging in censorship with a clear partisan bias, which many of their own employees had qualms about.

So, there's nothing in the content of the post that you wanted to talk about?

For someone who seems to really want to address the content of the post, you've been doing a lot of talking about me instead. That's ok, let's talk about the content of the actual post, what would you like to talk about? Do you think it's concerning that twitters largest advertisers have a dedicated account manager that they can email.
