Your adjustment is to add a link to the "DR BOB please don't YOU Tweet my posts" list here at Babble?
That's it? YOU already should not (and are not, as far as I know) be using posts on Twitter from those that don't want you to. I know you **personally** wouldn't do that.
But how does te new link prevent (Okay - since Babble isn't private - "discourage"...) other people who have accounts at Facebook and/or Twitter, from linking to or Tweeting posts? The honor system? While that would hopefully (but no guarantees, obviously) stop Babblers from violating the wishes of their fellow Babblers, what would it do for other folks?
I thought that was the point of the buttons? For anyones and everyones ease of linking, not for YOUR convenience? (The latter would be silly considering the length of the No Twitter thread)
If I say, disliked Poster ABC intensely, was tired of them and wanted to paint them in the worst light, embarrass them or bully them, couldn't I collect up their posts fairly quickly and easily and list them en masse, on say, my Facebook page (don't have one, but this is hypothetical), with accompanying derisive commentary, AND if I were so inclined, might I not be MORE encouraged seeing they'd asked YOU not to Twitter, etc., their posts? Might I not kinda LIKE that, even? Would I give a damn if I were that type of person??
Maybe I am totally lost. Perhaps someone could straighten out my thinking??
