Who's Been Blocked on Twitter?
Posted: Sun Jun 05, 2022 1:03 am
I found out something interesting exciting yesterday. I've been blocked by Dylan McDermott on Twitter.
I send out several twitter posts a day, usually on entertainment-related topics. Yesterday, I read that Dermot Mulroney had been added to the cast of the next Scream film. Since there are usually two killers in a Scream movie, I composed a post saying that it would be great synergy if somehow Mulroney and McDermott would turn out to be the killers since most people confuse them anyway. So, I went to McDermott's twitter account to verify the spelling of McDermott's name and his Twitter handle, if he had one. I then found out that he (or more likely his publicist) had blocked me.
I was surprised and frankly honored. When McDermott was the villain on the new Law and Order series, I posted that he was the biggest drag on the show. Then, when he signed up to be the new lead on FBI: Most Wanted, I made a couple of other posts critical about him. I've probably made about a half dozen posts total about him. But one or all of them were enough to get me blocked.
BTW, there is a site (https://blolook.osa-p.net/) you can log into with your Twitter account and it will tell you how many people have blocked you and if you have also blocked them. However, the only way to find out who has blocked you is to do what I did, go to their Twitter account and learn the news. I found out that McDermott is the only person who blocked me so far. Of course, by posting this, I may get a few dozen Bored members block me tomorrow as well.
So, has anyone else here been blocked on Twitter that they know of? Care to share any details?
