Twittetiquette? WTF!

i just woke up. in 5 minutes i get to read 3 different blog posts about 'how to behave on twitter'. so i get pissed off, as @mirkohumbert would've expected. Why, you might wonder...

BECAUSE TWITTETIQUETTE IS FUCKING RETARDED! that's why!

I haven't seen anywhere in the twitter terms that you must behave while on twitter, except the common sense rules, as in do not  abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate other Twitter users. Nowhere does it say "do not @ to new followers" or "do not post more than 1 tweet in 15 minutes".

Where the fuck did all this shit started, man? who was the self-centered ass who thought it would be useful to the world if he would make everyone on twitter act according to his personal preference on how twitterers should act? Well, that person must be a angry, retarded, grumpy person, who thinks he's the center of the world, and his rules on behaviour must be known and followed by everyone who wants to be followed by said person.

In case you read this, you first person who wrote the first twittetiquette post, take a step forward. I would love to chat with you and piss the hell out of you, as you did me with this stupid retarded bullshit behaviour list of yours.

And then, for some odd reason, everybody considered it's ok to do it. Let's all fucking make lists with rules and boundaries on how and what to write in 140 char. messages. And then make a religion for us all on twitter to obey to. And then start throwing rocks at people that do not act according to our centralized system of @ beliefs.

What the fuck, man? Seriously, if you guys really feel like making a list on how people should act to not be unfollowed, at least have the decency to call the list "my twitting pet peeves" or something like that...do NOT make it into a general post on rules for how other people should act, that only makes you look like a self-centered bastard who tell other people how to be online. Who the fuck put you in charge with making rules for Twitter? What are you, Twitter police? And what are you going to do, throw me in Twiter jail for not complying to your stupid twittetiquette? HA!

In case you twittmilitary people haven't got to this page yet, here is the "How does it work?" page about Twitter:

"How does it work?

With Twitter, you can stay hyper–connected to your friends and always know what they’re doing. Or, you can stop following them any time. You can even set quiet times on Twitter so you’re not interrupted.

Twitter puts you in control and becomes a modern antidote to information overload."

SIMPLE ENOUGH FOR YA?

There's nowhere on there any fucking rule about how to reply to others or how often you have to tweet. IS IT??? So shut the fuck up with your stupid etiquette, and unfollow me if you don't like the fact that i have 5500 tweets in a month. News flash: I don't care one bit if you like me or not! You are the one that clicked the follow button to read about my life and see my personality. You didn't have to. So don't go and tell me how to act, ok? Just fucking unfollow and stay in your righteous little world, because honestly i don't want to know about your existence.

Love,
