It started yesterday when Twitter suspended the brilliant parody account @SalonDotCom that had delivered devastating satire of the left wing priggery of Salon.com.

They shut down @salondotcom and I said nothing, because I was not a hysterically spot-on skewering of @salon's whingy liberal pretense.

I don't understand why they'd suppress @salondotcom and let the obvious parody account @salon continue to operate.

Twitter’s terms of service give us a pretty good idea who initiated the suspension of @SalonDotCom
