As Twitchy reported, Guy Adams of the U.K. Independent has been banned from Twitter for criticizing Twitter corporate partner NBC over its crappy Olympics coverage.

Meanwhile, plenty of bona fide Twitter scoundrels are still roaming free.

Here are 10 accounts in glaring violation of Twitter terms of service.

Twitter’s rules state: “You may not publish or post direct, specific threats of violence against others.”

Spike Lee and Roseanne Barr tweeted out George Zimmermans’s personal information — the same offense Adams is accused of — but both are still on Twitter, in good standing.

Why did Twitter crack down on journalist Guy Adams, who arguably did not infringe on Twitter’s Terms of Service, while looking the other way at the blatant violations documented above?

Money talks, Twitter thugs walk.
