Me Before Elon Came Along

 I was on Twitter for about 18 months before Elon Musk came along to buy them.  And I had been suspended on two occasions.

1st offense?  I offered commentary where I uttered the term 'redneck', and about 45 minutes after the 'entry'....I was told that I needed a suspension of a week....as long as I deleted my comment. 

Did I know that 'redneck' was forbidden?  No.

2nd offense?  I made some comment that some person would have to be an 'idiot' to do such-and-such.  About ten minutes after typing that comment....I was told I needed a suspension of a week....as long as I deleted the comment.  

After the 2nd episode....I quit Twitter.

I came back after Elon bought Twitter.

It bothered me....these word-hounds needing to control your language...where 'fu*k' was ok to type and utter....but you couldn't call someone an 'idiot' or a 'redneck'.
