I am quite new to this, but did not hesitate to use block button for the first time recently for 'pictures !!' I did not want to see or be associated with.

I am surprised by how much I can control how 'my' Twitter behaves and how it serves me. It is a paradox that so much noise and activity can be so easily tamed, tailored and tweeked to create an entirely unique experience for each user. Namaste, Tina Louise @tinalouiseUK Agreed.

I think it has kept the robots down to a minimum. I've also resorted to "protecting" my account. I enjoy your tweets. We interact periodically and you're always a gentleman. Keep up the great work!

And an even more interesting phenomenon is that about the same time YOU were blocking them, I was too, simply because they were engaging in a fight with you and not contributing to any sort of intelligent or civil discourse. I wonder which has more influence in the Twitterverse, recommendations to follow, i.e. #followfriday or to block. I totally agree.

One of the things I never liked about usenet newsgroups, forums, commenting at newssite and even sometimes about facebook is the sheer amount of trolling in between the useful content. It's better on facebook because usually you only see the comments of friends and their friends, but the experience is SUPERB in Twitter. It's easy to keep my feed trollfree with unfollowing and blocking. I do read my Twitter main stream though, but I agree: it's probably not for anyone. What I find more important is to write back, at least if someone asks you something non-trivial or tweets sth nice. And I know that you write back from firsthand experience. ;) I totally agree!
