The “Readers added context” feature is the only good thing about Twitter.

      I confused them with another mod named “someone” who had made a prejudiced comment, got banned, and then complained that no one would have an honest discussion instead of banning first. It was relatively recent so it was still in my head, but not recent enough that I remembered the full name correctly.

      That being said, being asked to to replicate a behavior that I already predicted literally would prove my point. Like, they were actually asking me to do something that they were told would produce the exact behavior I described. I honestly don’t know how else to phrase “that would prove my point.” It wasn’t being flippant. It was being literal.

        The issue isn’t about proving your point, it’s that OP didn’t ask for a debate. You seriously need to consider that not everybody is trying to debate you.

        OP was genuinely confused on how blocking worked and wanted you to block them so they could see how it worked on the “victim” end. They weren’t arguing with you about anything!

          The issue shouldn’t be about someone getting to tell someone else what to do. It should be about the topic at hand.

            But they didn’t tell you what to do! They literally asked you.

            it should be about the topic at hand.

            Well sorry, but tough shit! This is an open forum where anybody can talk.
