I can't do shit on Twitter:

Cool! Ok so, confirmed. Garry Tan is a sinister guy. Glad I asked here!

Edit: Sorry but how is this downvoted to zero? I have done nothing except add five "likes" to Twitter and my account is now banned there. This is insane. I was pro-or-neutral-Garry at the start of this convo, he was just the Posterous guy. Now my Twitter is gone. What the hell?

Edit 2: uhh so how do you get an account back?

It could simply be that twitter is having issues. I see weird stuff as well. ("something went wrong" messages all over the place).

Yeah it seems to be just a glitch. Kinda wild to see "just like some tweets, see what happens..." and then have Twitter completely crap out.

Twitter automatically bans new accounts all the time. (I’ve heard from others that contacting support helps, but I personally just gave up on getting an account.) If you want to test getting blocked, you need to do it with an established account.

Whether it's a ban or a glitch, why would you blame Garry for it? He doesn't control Twitter.
