So, there is some chap called Oolon - came on the Slymepit in the hopes of proving that associating with the Slymers would not get him banned on Pharyngula
That got him subsequently banned from Pharyngula
Since then he has been swapping Tweets with "ophelia" and Aratina, a Pharyngula regular who I have written about before
This is hilarious

What will this accomplish precisely?
I am a little confused as to how getting people's Twitter accounts banned could ever be a good idea
So I disagree with people - I would not even do this to Piers Morgan or Deepak Chopra - they deserve to have a voice as much as I do on the Internet. Taking away that would mean I couldn't take the piss out of them or report on their nonsense and show it to be so. Plus that is their Twitter account, not mine, why the fuck should I care?
I don't read their stuff if I don't want to, that way I don't have to worry about them - let them spout their bullshit
This escapade of blocking seems a bit hysterical to be honest, talk about paranoia too - the people on that list, they are not spam-bots and they are not directly going against the rules and guidelines of Twitter's terms of service - why would you want them banned?
I wonder precisely what the reaction would be if the Pitters resorted to this behaviour? I'm fairly sure there would be some serious screaming from all the corners of the Baboon Network - it would be the worse thing in the universe.
If you go to the Slymepit you'll find the worse reaction is us all laughing our heads off and denouncing this bollocks for what it is - bollocks!
Oolon, stop this nonsense mate, you are not going to accomplish anything, you are not going to affect anything, it will get you nowhere.

Interesting who they DON'T go after.
The aforementioned Chopra, Neo-Nazis, the Klan, any number of legitimately nasty people, if their tactics and cause were indeed so righteous.
Nope, they only care about being "internet famous", and being kings/queens of their (imaginary!!) little hill of beans.
They have no "cause", but themselves.

I had a massive long chat on Twitter with this idiot, first he denied this "bot" would get people banned until I showed him in the terms of service. Then he said it wouldn't be a "large" number of people signing up to ban people who they don't want to see Tweeting. He then back-peddled on a lot of things and then went out of his way to insult me.
These people are reprehensible and completely narcissistic
