Jesus… I thought this sort of stuff had calmed down a bit on your timeline

No it’s still there. Mostly I just instantly block but that one I thought was worth sharing. It was almost amusing.

Whilst I agree that was unnecessarily rude, disprespetful and ill mannered – I have to admit reading that made me chuckle – am I going to hell?

It was mildly amusing.

Elizabeth later had an update.
To be fair to Twitter they have already suspended his account. Quick work.
