He said in that second thread that he is not actually leaving Twitter.


Well, seems that choice was taken out of his hands by an insecure billionaire.


To be fair, that's most likely just a temporary ban.


Yeah, it's like those WW2 movies in Japanese POW camps in the jungle. One of the allied officers yanks their chain, they send him to cooler, and the soldiers cheer the officer.

Except PG made kissy noises with the POW guards and said to the soldiers "I still think they are very civilized" as he went on to the cooler. That bit wasn't in the original script.


Boy the bar for the “to be fair” crowd sure has slipped. To be fair, pg was only temporarily banned for acknowledging the existence of competing social networks!


Well, he most likely will still get an opportunity to use Twitter if he so chooses.

No one said anything about it being a good version of Twitter.


That's not fair.


No, Twitter left him.


Not to put too fine a point on it, but it appears that he was after all.


I'm explicitly quoting the thread title, not the thread content, which is too extensive to do justice to in a line or two. Reading much of the threads there and elsewhere, and skimming most of the rest, I believe his intent was to create a bolt-hole, but had hopes that Twitter would recover.


well, guess again!
