So, I'm on Twitter right now, right?

[MrScorpio]

I've got a special birthday mix playing on Black Athena out of Athens, Greece in a hour https://twitter.com/BlackAthenaGr and I was just passing the time re-blogging some Tumblr posts that link to my Twitter and FB.

One racist fucking troll on Twitter took issue with this post in particular:









After he tweeted me some more racist bullshit, which I will not repeat, I told him "Fuck the police," and sent his ass this:




Well he promptly tweeted me some more racist bullshit. So, instead of engaging with him because my friends in Greece just started their show, you can listen here: http://www.athina984.gr/liveplayer/air1044.html I simply muted any tweets coming from that bigoted asshole.

Today is too special to deal with racist bullshit, Am I Right?

By the way, I turn 53 tomorrow.

1. Happy Birthday.

You should report the racist to twitter, and encourage others to do so as well. They'll shut him down or at least caution him. They don't go for that hate speech and abuse.

[MrScorpio]

2. I think that I'll do that

Before I blocked him I check his other tweets and all of them were about as racist as fuck.

This is the first time I've ever had to block someone for being a racist troll to me.

By the way, I'm still reblogging and tweeting anti-racist posts and I can't see what his responses are.

Life is good.

Black Athena just announced my mix in hour two of their show.

That's a smile on my face.

4. Enjoy your day, and don't let the bozos get you down! nt

[MrScorpio]

7. They never do

I know what they are.

[Ampersand Unicode]

32. They don't really do anything about it

He'll just sign up for more sock accounts with fake emails.

Defective by design, nature of the beast.

That aside, happy birthday, Scorpio. If I were you I'd just ignore the trolls (don't feed them) and don't let them sour your day.

[MADem]

33. Yeah, but he'll have to do that--he will lose all his hateful followers, and his "reputation"

such as it is. They will suspend or terminate disruptive accounts.

He'll have to find all those racist followers he has and reconnect with them. It is inconvenient for him. And if he comes after Mr. S again, he can report him again.

The only way you stop this kind of shit is to fight back and say NO to it--be it racism, sexism, homophobia, bullying, what-have-you.

We don't have to 'take' this kind of crap.

[Scuba]

8. Happy Birthday MrScorpio. Good on ya for muting that racist gasbag.

[MrScorpio]

9. The people that I follow in my Twitter feed are usually as fly as fuck

This asshole just came out of nowhere. We don't follow each other and I have no idea where he came from. He most have been scanning for people to troll.

I don't have any time to be dealing with that bullshit. Know what I mean?

10. Happy Birthday MrScorpio!

Enjoy!

[adirondacker]

[MrScorpio]

16. I should...

Sometimes I make dinner and am very disappointed with the results. Glad you enjoyed.

15. Happy Birthday, Mr. Scorpio!

Some people just have a lot of ugly in their soul and they want to spread it around. You have a lot of joy in your heart and you spread that around. That's what makes the world a better place and will beat out the hate everyday!

[Half-Century Man]

17. Happy Birthday

Don't fixate on the bullshit. You get friends, good music, and cake; that makes today good.

[LiberalLoner]

18. Happy Birthday, MrScorpio! May you see many more happy birthdays!

And may every wish you wish today, come true for you!

I'm sorry there is so much ugliness in the world. Thank you for being a beautiful soul, fighting against the ugliness.

[Granny M]

23. Happy Birthday, MrScorpio.

I just signed up for Twitter, and I don't know what i'm doing there, really. Can you block this person? Who needs to subject themselves to idiot racists?

[MrScorpio]

24. He's blocked

First person I ever blocked.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. Happy Birthday!

I'll be 53 in a couple months. Nothin' like puttin' the bullshit into the black hole. You're brave to even use twitter. I refuse (too many hobby discussion forums to read and it can be time-consuming either way), although I may read some tweets here and there if someone links to a feed.

[MrScorpio]

35. Did you see the guy's feed?

Wasn't it disgusting?

[eridani]

36. I have a low tolerance for that and quit after one look n/t
