It’s sad that you think this somehow reflects badly on Twitter. I appreciate a company that will opt to be conservative rather than ban-hammer innocent people on accident just to stop a single idiot.

I don’t think it reflects badly on Twitter, it was simply a remark on the state of their blacklisting at the time. I’m sure they could’ve done a lot better if they chose to. Sorry I didn’t expressed myself better.

Off-topic but reminds me of ~2004 where we had a particularly pervasive cheater in our dedicated game server and the end decision of the admin was to just ban the entire IP range of said cheaters' ISP. Not particularly conservative - very effective.
