1. Cancelling stuff I don't like is an effective form of freedom and free speech. NT

2. WHY do these repuke fuckers NEVER UNDERSTAND

FREEDOM OF SPEECH has to do with government, NOT protection from consequences because your behavior is FUCKING VILE

3. He really is acting like a two year old.

PS. There was a twitter link to an article which I couldn't read. It was a pay to view site. It said that the twitter deal is not 100% done and he has until Friday to seal it. It also said there are some obstacles in the way.

Hmmmm.

4. Funny how he think they need him, advertisers are here to reach consumers

if they are blocked or people leave then they are just wasting money,

5. My Twitter feed is so lame

I never once saw a French ad for "The Oral".

I support them leaving tough

6. L'oreal denies it:

Nov 2 (Reuters) - Cosmetics maker L'Oréal SA (OREP.PA) said it had not suspended advertising spending on Twitter, denying a Financial Times report from earlier on Wednesday that cited sources familiar with the matter.

7. I'm happily blocking advertisers on Twitter.

So far I'm staying because of the very persuasive arguments of those who consider it vital to having the ear of journalists and thus to democracy.
