The Celebrity Trolling programme was very interesting, threats directly to a person or about their family are certainly out of order and should be blocked/reported.
But having Rebecca Adlington reading out tweets which was a quote that Frankie Boyle on a panel show was a bit old hat. Rebecca clearly had body issues when she was on I'm A Celeb and almost indirectly bullied Amy Willerton for being attractive. We all know that Rebecca at worse has a rather impressive nose and being a swimmer will get aquatic animal jokes etc.
In years gone by the likes of Esther Rantzen, Cilla Black, Bruce Forsyth, Jimmy Hill etc all had jokes about their prominent features and would often join in on the joke - Cilla always made reference to her nose job and teeth, Esther's teeth were often discussed by herself. Brucie and Jimmy's chins etc.
I suppose a bit of good humoured banter is different from being confronted by a total stranger about your looks.

In the spirit of investigation and knowing for certain, I'm going to block you until lunchtime, so you can report back and let us all know if it was at all noticeable from your side. See you again at 12:30! I just spent the last hour getting through London & didn't have the time to check the board again till now, so I didn't notice anything! I actually forgot to unblock you before going to eat (what can I say, I was RAVENOUS) so I guess if you didn't notice anything different on your return, then it is only the blocker who sees anything different and the blockee can carry on posting in blissful unawareness. Thanks for not being offended by my using you to experiment, and I'm unblocking you now.  |

I too feel I've missed something now.
I have blocked a few on here largely because I get fed up arguing with them constantly. I will sometimes sneak a peak at their posts if doing so helps to make sense of a discussion.
Twitter wise I've been blocked by Cynthia but I believe thats a badge of honour

Is there an easy way to find out who has blocked you?
The only one I know about is Jason Mohammed, the BBC sports commentator. He blocked me on Twitter, although I have no idea why. I've never interacted or talked to him, or talked about him or mentioned him or anything. I do watch a lot of snooker, which he sometimes presents, so I can only assume I've expressed a snooker opinion which he disapproves of, but I can't imagine what. Jason Mohammed has absolutely zero importance or meaning in my life. I only found out he blocked me because a snooker player retweeted something he tweeted, and I couldn't see it, and got the blocked message.

Tom Bateman. Something to do with a restraining order I think . . . . The opposite of blocking - he once held a door open for me! |

I had to block a woman about a year ago on twitter. She really began to creep me out. I am now on her hit list of people she hates and she goes around telling people I am a horrible person because I blocked her. She has a vengeful obsession with one young woman. It's got to the point of where your seriously worried about her going from what she posts online to it transfering into the real world. Scary stuff.

The opposite of blocking - he once held a door open for me! Get. Out. Of. Town. When he was in Father Comes Home from the Wars at the Royal Court. It was meant for the friend of his that I was walking behind but he was such a gentleman to keep it open for me. He wasn't as much of a gentleman in my dreams later that night though. |
