Do you really think Twitter, home of the Fail Whale, can actually process your tweets in real time just to censor you? What would they get out of that? Money spent on hardware and software just to discourage people from using their product? Seems unlikely.

What seems likely is database replication issues or a buggy caching algorithm. You are not important enough to censor.
