Cor blimey. Two hundred rants! That really is quite a few isn't it - well past the tipping point now!
Anyway... on with the rant.
I have, after some fair amount of kicking and screaming and the like - finally given in and started to begrudgingly like twitter.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not into all of it. I'm not really into the trends, the hashtags sometimes confuses me and the character limit does bug me. None the less - I'm getting there.
I do however, have some grips about the 'following' culture.
I'm happy to be followed by anyone who wants to follow me properly. You are more than welcome!
My twitter handle is @trums365rants. On there I will keep you abreast of new rants - and will also muse about various other annoyances from time to time.
What I'm not so sure about, is when random idiots follow me - obviously in the vain hope of reciprocation on my part.
Today's offering was 'Sharon Willis'. No I'm not going to hold back on naming and shaming. In fact. I would consider it a personal favour if you would like to send the irritating troll some abuse.
Her twitter account is @sharonwillis61.
Sharon follows 1,994 people and has 1,680 following her - mostly by accident or by polite reciprocation I feel, because - from scanning a single page of her tweets, she has absolutely fuck all to say for herself. She is instead a recycler of other peoples content. Ipso facto - the worst type of boring twitter troll of all.
What's even better is her little tagline. You're are going to enjoy this one...
She is, by all accounts 'Reaching out to fellow Christians to share the kind words of the Lord.'
Admirable though that may be, her attempt at reaching out by trying to get any random person to follow her and filling her feed with shite is a little misguided.
Just in case you had forgotten about the abuse - @sharonwillis61 - go on, you know you want to.
She is (if it really is a she, for it is more likely some pointless botnet, specifically designed to spread shit, but I digress) of course far from alone. There are loads of idiots on Twitter who want to get your precious followings and will follow you just to get you on their side.
Don't play their games!
Rant over.
