I always wondered why people who take offense at what someone else says make such a big deal of it.

Tell 'em you don't like X, block 'em, and boom, you're done. No need to make 15btweets explaining just how much you hate [Scapegoat off the week here].

Until X start automating the creation of new account and spamming your specifically because you blocked them of course.

At that point, the whole conflict has become ridiculous. Who has the time to create a bot that automates creating accounts to spam, say, the N-word?

That's not even accounting for captchas.

Quite a few people apparently, and you only need one to do that and make it available to everyone else.

Fair point.

This is getting into Poe's Law territory.
