For future reference, I was just blocked because I disliked a child’s generalization of the term boomer. If you’re making a statement and wouldn’t substitute Black, Gay, Jewish, or Asian, then it’s wrong. Period.

@AlliFlowers A block we can certainly get over, better than being banned or faded out by an admin, who believes defamatory claims of conspiracy theorists or agents of foreign adversaries pretending to be ordinary users like you & me.
Besides, some folks evidently never grew up or are just not old enough to have learned, that social media implicitly demand social behavior.

@AlliFlowers

Ok, boomer. ;-)

Someone had to say it. And it might as well be from a fellow boomer. Anyway, I have chosen to embrace the term. But I certainly can imagine that there are times when blocking is the right thing to do.

@jpgoldberg I wasn’t gonna block her. I find it just rude. I don’t mind the term as long as it’s preceded by qualifiers like “some” or “many.”
