I'm not bugging your phone

First off, an apology. Sorry if you were reading my Twitters and I’ve now banned you from doing so by making my Tweets private.

Often these are wankers who are wasting all our time by using Twitter to spam, and who we can only hope will one day be found in the deepest circle of Hell. Other times these are complete strangers who apparently follow hundreds or thousands of people solely because, presumably, they have nothing better to do with their lives than click their mouse in an attempt to make the pretty number on their screen increase by one with each click, like some laboratory animal with half its brain replaced by citrus fruit.

  • 03:45pm: Struggling with the process of making my Twitters private... how do I let someone see my Twitters but stop following them myself?
  • 03:51pm: @blech Grrr, that does suck hugely. Sorry lots of people, time to say bye bye because I only have limited attention for Twitters...
  • 04:04pm: Wondering how come I'm now following 74 people, have 72 followers, but have 97 icons displayed under "People". Go away!
