As we cats have pointed out before, we do not tweet. (Although we love little birds.) Why should we, we figured, since we'd run the risk of encountering right-wing mental cases like the odious troll Charles Johnson? Please. Even our nine lives are too short for that.
But, soft! — Twitter has banned Johnson at last. They've finally figured out that threatening someone's life is not a good idea. (Unless Johnson is going to try to claim that "taking out" a civil rights leader is a reference to a dinner date.)
Before we put our paws together in celebration, however, we're perfectly aware that, yes, Johnson can merely park his ugly butt somewhere else on the web. So beware, hapless users of other social media — you may be "treated" to CJ's malodorous presence sooner rather than later. And it'll be interesting to see how other platforms handle it: Will Mark Zuckerberg be forced to draw a similar line in the sand at some point?
We shall see. In the meantime, we'll continue to take a giant pass on social media. Unless they all ban Charles Johnson, in which case we'll rush to sign up. We cats PURR and HISS.
