   What I want to know, is:  What is their definition of the word,
   "harass"?
   Contradict?  Disprove?  Argue against?  Make unhappy?
   Is Twitter going to adopt a consistent policy that political statements
   aren't allowed?

   Ask @Support or @jack. Maybe they can tell you.
   I would guess it's what their policy always was. If you think their
   policy is 'inconsistent' that's because it depends on who gets
   harassment complaints against them that are verifiable. If you don't
   harass people (and twitter knows all ur tweetz whether or not you
   delete them), you don't get suspended. That the way the world works
   irl, and that's the way it works on twitter afaict. Not Sure what
   happens if you hit the report button as an 'unwanted follow'. I suspect
   if they get enough of those clicks they MIGHT have a look at the
   account to check for spamming or a bot account that exist just to
   follow people for marketing purposes (alot of those on Twitter) but I'm
   just guessing.

   Ps. inciting people to bully and threaten will get you gone.... Like
   ROTF Richard Spencer.
   PPs. I've seen sites that appear to use the mac address of you computer
   to effectively keep you from creating another account but that's
   probably circumventable using macchanger or some mac spoofing tool. Or
   perhap they use a well hidden flash cookie or something. They don't
   really say you know?
