Honestly, the only stupid thing is that Twitter won’t show you public posts from an account who has blocked you. Of course you can log out and see everything. That’s just silly. Twitter may as well say “this account has blocked you, so complete this tedious minigame to see their content.”

The end result is pretty ridiculous: because this author wrote posts critics of a very popular piece of software, the author must log out of Twitter temporarily in order to see any relevant posts or announcements from the official Twitter account of that piece of software.

This is a conscious decision.

I think Twitter is engineered to make people angry at each other.

Simply logout or use a private browsing window if you want to see the public posts of someone who's blocked you. It's really, really not a big deal at all.

That's why it's a stupid decision from Twitter. Twitter could say "type your username backwards to see this tweet" and you could say "just type your username backwards, it's really not a big deal." It would still be a stupid decision from Twitter.
