For @Liberty_Chick

There's a "stalker blog" dedicated to monitoring, ridiculing, and insulting LGF and its members. One becomes a target simply by being an active member of LGF--i.e. it's not necessary that I, or any member, have ever had any personal interaction with them. The vast majority of them were banned long before I joined LGF. Anyway, once the people from that blog started using Twitter, they immediately began following LGF members and sending us nasty "mentions", myself included. One day I got tired of it and decided to preemptively block as many of them as possible by seeing who they followed, who was following them, and what sort of tweets they made.

Here's one of the early tweets I got from one of the stalkers:

Here's how the owner of the stalker blog feels about Muslims:

Considering the ***head tweet you were rightly offended by a few weeks(?) ago, I assume you can understand my reasons for preemptively blocking them.

Some of the others on the list are either people who've been nasty to me for no apparent reason other than because I'm a liberal and/or a Muslim and/or have retweeted something CJ said that they disliked. I also preemptively block anyone on the Right who looks like they may be prone to prolonged Twitter fights, or who thinks that all liberals are [insert the hyperbolic description of your choice]. Debating & arguing is one thing; hating & verbally abusing fellow Americans over political differences is something else altogether, and not something I want to be a party to. We're all Americans & we all love our country and have to live in it together--if our republic succeeds or fails, we ALL succeed or fail with it.

As for putting the list(s) on pastebin, my intention was merely to help other LGF members avoid any unnecessary ugliness. I update the list fairly regularly.

Hope that clarifies things and puts your mind at ease.
