Sad to hear that some Twitter users are not making the best use of its features. It's very easy to create a list of Nero and his flying monkeys, and you can add people to a list without following them.

You can keep the list private so nobody knows you're even doing it.

It's also much more efficient. In the normal use of Twitter (dipping into a stream), you are highly unlikely to see most of any account's tweets. With a list, you can see all the tweets you want whenever you want.

(Sorry this is off-topic, but it might help someone who hasn't used the Lists feature, which Twitter hides away.)
