So it wasn't as a reply to anything? Pretty weird. I'm about as far from a RU supporter as it gets, as my very extensive tweet history amply documents.

But it would be a pretty good way to discredit me.

I agree, this looks like a quick and dirty attempt to get account blocked.
Except it doesn’t. Twitter doesn’t usually ban accounts for tweets like these. And when they do, they’ll automatically unban you if you delete the tweet.

It’s not like someone randomly tweeted child pornography or bomb threats from his account.

The fact that jacquesm could immediately recover his account by deleting this tweet completely discredits this theory.
