I know and respect those rules with regards to anything related to politics or social issues. I have a hard time accepting them for tech

You're right. Next time I'll phrase my criticism as more of a personal insult and subtweet it.

But I can't link to them or mention them. Isn't that what a subtweet is?

So what you're saying is: If my complaint is that A didn't follow that rule, I have to “escape” B's handle? but I can link to B? OK.

What’s bad about linking to B (I’m talking about the content)? As it’s me doing the linking, not A?
