Delete the Tweet
I have a Twitter account - the second one I've had. I rarely tweeted and seldom signed in on the first one and it's about the same for the present one. The one I have now has a fake name, just in case I want to fire back at someone who tweets something offensive.
It's been a couple of years (so the exact details are a little hazy) but I followed a re-tweet by someone I was following and the woman - some minor celeb. who happened to be black - had posted a lot of (other) nasty racist comments, but the one that bothered me was her saying "White women prefer black men!" I usually just ignore things like that, but couldn't help myself and replied "That might be true, but if it is, it might also mean black men prefer white women." I got a BUNCH of replies to that, so many that I just canceled the account. Many were death threats or at the least, promising violence. Since I had used my "real name", I thought it for the best, even though I doubted anyone would actually follow through on them. If someone showed up at my door, angry over something I had posted on Twitter, then they might have had a rude awakening...or a quick death.
Anyway...I was reading a sports article the other day and a link was left to a specific tweet, but it had been deleted by the time I clicked on it. Here's the Twitter 404 message:

The Purple Test
| You Are a Rebel |
 You've never been one to be part of a crowd. In fact, you avoid most crowds out of principle. You value your uniqueness, and you're proud of it. You enjoy standing out, even if you don't overtly draw attention to yourself. You have never been one to copy others. Your inspiration comes from within, and you are very creative. If anything, you can get a bit annoyed if people copy you too much. You may even change course in order to preserve your individuality. |
