facepalm I have blog posts from 2001 that make me cringe that I keep up purely to show that I've changed considerably in 18 years.
When James Gunn was fired from Guardians for something he said in a tweet years before I was dumbfounded. Now Twitter is actively policing old posts?!
People change, nations change. Violent criminals can become bastions of peace and philanthropy. Why is society, or a company, persecuting people for tweets that are years old. If someone says something awful today, deal with it, but 9 years ago?! If there's an offensive 9 year old tweet, delete it and send the user an email saying their tweet was deleted for violating such and such policy but locking an account 9 years after the fact?!
