re: #39 Charles Johnson

Don’t forget, Chuck had something like 26,000 followers when he was booted. That’s why he’s trying everything to get his old account back. He doesn’t want to start from scratch again even if he could. It took time for him to get all those followers, and he blew it all with one stupid tweet.

Yup.

I can see him creating daily throw-away accounts to “outsmart” Twitter and then trying to remove his tracks to avoid further banning. But while such a strategy will allow him to tweet, without any name recognition he’s just wasting his time. So I suspect he’ll quickly tire of the throw-away account game, finding it totally unsatisfactory; it won’t meet the needs of his ego.

When the anger stage comes, it won’t be pretty.
