Ironically I couldn’t see Amy’s tweet when signed in I had to sign out! “ You’re unable to view this Tweet because this account owner limits who can view their Tweets. ” Limited to friends and completely anonymous people I guess!

I respectfully asked a question about something she blogged about years ago and she blocked me. It was rather bizarre. Perhaps you met a similar fate at one time.

You must be blocked… either for a reason, or part of a block list or I blocked you accidentally when blocking ads which has happened a few times. What’s your username?

  Ok thanks for the reply. I’ll send you a message some other way with the account.

Yeah, she has me blocked too, because I called her out about some racist stuff she posted against Chinese people. I guess she's kind of an asshole. (I'm speaking here as a recognized expert in the field.)

  Here’s the tweet you claim is racist — I know bc it’s the only time anyone has called me racist. I complained that Etsy w searches were dominated by mass produced goods from China. Not a slur on Chinese craft or people, but dismay at the amount of AliExpress-type items. https://twitter.com/amyhoy/status/407618941742510081?s=21 https://twitter.com/amyhoy/status/407618941742510081?s=21

    Yup, that's the one, https://twitter.com/amyhoy/status/407618941742510081?s=21 https://twitter.com/amyhoy/status/407618941742510081?s=21. I'm obviously not in a position to know how often people call you racist, but clearly I wasn't the only one the tweet sounded racist to; Star Simpson also commented: https://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/407619548846649344 https://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/407619548846649344 Before that conversation I had enjoyed reading some of the things you'd written, but the way you responded showed me what kind of a person you really are.

      Yes she also willfully misread “mass produced goods” and asked me why I didn’t think Chinese artisans should use etsy for their handmade goods, a classic loaded question and a position I have never taken. The mass produced goods — that didn’t belong on Etsy — were literally from China. Calling something Chinese doesn’t make it racist.

        As I said at the time, I don't think she was willfully misreading you; I think she was suggesting you might be fallible. Because I said that, you've had me blocked on Twitter for eight years, which kind of amounts to conceding Star's original point. I'm sort of puzzled about where you think the mass-produced artisan goods on AliExpress come from. Like, presumably we're not talking about goods like "one ton of calcium chloride" or "1MW supercritical steam generator", right? We're talking about the kinds of goods that Chinese artisans hand-make en masse and sell on AliExpress, things like furniture and decorations, right?
