It sure is easy to be condescending when you ignore chunks of the post. Like the link to http://twitter.dougbelshaw.com/

Do you think twitter deleted them from their database? Or just flagged them as not visible?

Id bet on the second one.

It doesn't matter. In both scenarios it's off the twitter site and backups still exist.
